Hi, couldn’t sleep last night as was in a total panic about what to eat once I start on insulin. I think I’ve read too much over the space of a short time and I’m terrified of having hypos.
I have an appt on Tuesday, keen to start as soon as possible as I’m so skinny, but totally confused as to what to eat. I’ve been reading some books and ideally want to go down the lower carb/healthy fats/protein route with lots of calories. I’m happy to carb count or even eat the same food every day as I’m used to food constraints (used to have dairy issues then the FODMAP diet which was pretty restrictive, prior to diabetes) I’ve ordered the Think Like A Pancreas book - will this help guide me? I feel so lost! I also now have a fear of pasta! Is there a simple ‘eat this’ type guide/menu for the first week or so, so I’m not in a total blind panic?? Thanks!
