Fab thanks for confirming.Exactly. Positive is positive. I think the negative is below 10.
I'm. So relieved. I was starting to worry I was really t2 and was doomed to a life with as restrictive a diet as I have had to follow. When the latest consultant said I was definitely t2 because I hadn't lost weight I thought maybe I was wrong after all. Maybe my raging sugar levels were self inflicted.
I'd started to keep a food diary and realised I'd actually been having more cars than I thought because I hadn't realised how high in carbs dairy is. Still I've been between 80-100g per day which is 50% of the daily recommended (more for athletes - and considering I usually cycle at least an hour a day I'd say that fairly athletic).
I thought I was genuinely doomed because I really struggle keeping carbs so low. Not so bad while I'm off work but not normally. Having a full time job and part time phd doesn't leave much time for meal prep.
Plus I've been getting so bored of eating the same old stuff. Chicken and veg, bacon, omelette, more chicken, bolognase without pasta, more.chicken, another omelette. You the picture.
I can't wait to feel normal again. To have energy, to be able to eat a little more 'normally'. And it's only around the corner now. It's been a blooming long month or so I tell ya.
