Thanks for the kind comments. I wanted to highlight that there are success stories and that it’s so much a shared success as you all helped me!
My diabetic nurse today talked about dropping carbs being fine, and that you don’t need any; that she does intermittent fasting and I could look at that if I wanted. she said also she only eats a small amount of carbs prior to doing some intensive exercise to help for energy and that I could do that (small oatmeal and apple perhaps)
she also talked about eating Greek yoghurt and berries
she also said I should increase protein in order to maintain weight. And that even though bmi is pretty much in the centre of the NHS that the weight I’m at I should stay at, as losing more could cause issues
I was a bit shocked in a nice way
May have eaten an Easter egg to celebrate. May regret that tomorrow, oh well.... one off!
