Having lowered my HB1AC considerably and got to non diabetic levels, I’m very happy but is this how it’s going to be from now on diet and lifestyle. My social life has been non existent since diagnosis
I miss a few beers on a night out followed by a takeaway after, I’m not into whisky or wine which I know are low carb... Haven’t been to a bar or club for months.
Went the same route as that
@Laconic ..all good until Chrimbo 2018
slightly "merry"..and not much worse for it according to my hab1c
have since spent time on holidays drinking sociably and because i wanted a drink.
i watch the meter, am sensible, but so far most have been in the sensible ranges..foods the greater evil for me.
As for takeaways, either go the meat route as described..(and
@KK123 ...
)
OR simply have good stuff in the fridge for when you get home.
Deli meats, olives, etc..or i've had egg n bacon late at night once or twice.
it's NOT avoiding the world, it's about limiting the damage when we do mingle with mortals..
better choices, then they could be, is the order of the day, i think
IF you want to try and see how it goes, i'd say try a Vodka and slimline/diet Indian tonic waters, BUT be careful fever tree is higher in carbs then expected.
check drink labels or on line.
and as always the meter IS your friend..
agree with
@Mike D
i think it's a treatable disease, IF we choose to manage it, not a Life sentence.
Go enjoy your life.
some of those moments make it all worth living.
