I solved this by going abroad for Christmas and went half board. I didn’t see a single mince pie, Christmas cake or Christmas pud.How do you all manage.
I am newly diagnosed type 2. But relatively ok over Christmas. But still slightly struggling as everyone still offers food and drinks.
Any tips on surviving the rest of the festive period.
Glad to hear you made it relatively unscathed, personally I ate half my body weight in cheese, but managed to avoid (most) of the carb options, my family are starting to understand my way of eating after 5 years! (my poor Dad struggles with various aspects of my diet including IF "Not eating for that long isn't good for you" but he's a 74 year old meat & 2 veg man who eats to the clock not his hunger). The most difficult thing is learning to say no, kindly meaning folk say just one's not going to hurt you surely, but could you imagine them saying that about peanuts to someone who has a allergy?
