I totally agree with you Juicyj, I have been low carbbing for 6 weeks now and have lost 24lbs. only 108lbs to go lol. Down 2 sizes in clothes. just spent 2 days on E'bay shopping for new stuff.
BGs are 5s and 6s, which I think are good for just 6 weeks after diagnosis. type 2 btw.
Apart from being constipated and some horrendous headaches( which maybe due to my hydracephilis) I have much more energy, my partner told me today that my snoring is a lot less noisey. Apparently I don't raise the roof now lol.
I'm a very simple sort of girl (where food is concerned) don't like much veggies, don't like much meat. so my meals can be very boring. I put a little garlic salt on most meals just to give it a wee lift. but the way I see things now, is that Diabetes if not controlled properly can cause me more health problems than I can handle. eg I saw an orthopaedic surgeon last week to talk about knee replacements, he informed me that with hyadracephilis and diabetes the chances of infection post op is trebbled, and lets just say the rest was scary enough to keep me on low carb diet for the rest of my days without complaint.
Yes it's very hard going some days but the benefits greatly outweigh the negatives. keep eating carbs and being unhealthy against not eating them and being healthy. no contest.
I hope you're doing okay.
Good health to you all
