That is the most game changing information I have yet to receive to date. I didn't know that you had to subtract the fiber amount to get the actual carb number. Oh my goodness... that changes a lot of things for me. Again, Paul coming in clutch and really saving me!

That sounds like a great idea, I've been missing my chia seeds but the carb content is so high :/

Ah really? Hmm I may have to test this out for myself cause it'd be wonderful to have a bit of a nice reverse seared ribeye ya know? That would make my entire month haha

Thank you! You're the first person to actually say what I've been thinking. My doctor said to add fruits and that I could eat sweets every so often but I told her that it's okay. She told me that its not sustainable to abstain from those treats. I'm not gonna lie, I do want my slice of pizza or...

Thank you so much for your input! Its not like I was even asking to eat the fattiest cuts of beef or pork. I literally asked if I could continue to have chicken breast, salmon, and mackerel. I don't think eating a balanced meal of vegetables, protein, and nuts should destroy me.

May I also ask about working out to anyone here? Does it matter if I split up my walking time or would it work to have a single workout in the morning? I'm just trying to ascertain whether length of workout is important or frequency is more important. Cause I've heard that a 10-20 min after a...

She said that the fats in animal proteins would raise my blood sugar and make my overall health worse. The confusing part was that I said I enjoyed eating chicken breast and salmon. Thank you, I will check with my monitor. Apologies if this sounded dumb, I'm really new to everything.

My doctor just said that I shouldn't do low carb like that :/ and also I shouldn't get my protein from animal meats or fish (just once in a while) and that I would benefit from a purely plant based diet. Idk what to think any more. It just feels like she ripped out the last thing I could enjoy...

Thank you so so much for sharing your story. You've been through so much not just with this condition but with life. It really put things into perspective for me. I appreciate every last bit of wisdom that everyone on here has shared with me. I think that these are the moments that mean extra...

Thank you so much for your kind words and welcome to the forum :) I'm going to try and do my best

I hope so too! If it means helping my anxiety and depression then I have more reasons to work that much harder

I'm finding that out myself, everyone on here is so supportive and helpful. It really helped calmed my feelings of being alone and I'm forever grateful to everyone. It's difficult but I feel like I can do it slowly with the proper support group.

Thank you so much! I didn't know there was a general chat!

I didn't know that high blood glucose would affect how I felt mentally. If I work hard and get my numbers down, I should hypothetically feel less of how I'm feeling? I mean to a certain extent?

Thank you so much and I'm hoping to make some friends on here cause I feel like having a friend group that understands would benefit everyone. My hope is to be able to chat and just be regular friends that don't need to talk about diabetes all the time, but just understand inherently. But also...
