Hello,
First time post, go easy on me!
I am 37 years old, a few kilos overweight and have been insulin depended for the last five years. For the last couple of months my diet and blood sugar levels have been all over the place.
The results of my last eye check found ‘diabetic activity’ in my eyes. Reading that on the letter from the eye clinic has refocused me on my medical condition that at times I am ashamed to admit do not take seriously.
Hence my joining this forum that I must say I have read from time to time.
In the past I have ‘tried’ low carb diets to lose weight. These work for me and lower my blood sugar levels dramatically. I can stick to this type of diet for around a month and it is usually boredom, through my perceived lack of food choice, which causes me to revert back to my old eating habits.
I must admit to being a ‘traditional English’ type of food person but can anybody recommend any websites or books that detail low carb menus or food choices so I can expand my shopping list?
Thanks in advance!
Michael
