Your weight loss is great!. We all lose weight at different speeds so i wouldn't worry about it. I lose quickly then slowly as it tends to level off after a few weeks. And, unpopular opinion here, low carb isn't all its cracked up to be. Its not guaranteed to suit everyone equally and some...

My better half makes masks for family and friends. It keeps her busy.

I cant use anything noisy as I'm on the phone so much through work. I have noise cancelling headphones but, again, not practical now i have to be on phone alert all day.

Yes I'm not anticipating my HbA1c for a few weeks at the barest minimum. Even those that deliver are shutting down here so will have to venture farther afield.

Well if it goes on for many more weeks I may well start tearing my hair out (thus saving on the hair cut that I cant have anyway!)

Thank you. Will venture out at some point as we must travel further and further to find the healthy stuff. My next HbA1c is due in a few weeks time. I don't think it will be great but...not much I can do.

I do have them but I have to take lots of work calls so its not really practical. Unfortunately. Hes still berating the poor lad about math homework!.

Hi, Hope everyone's doing okay given whats going on around us all. I got forced into home working last week and we have cases of corona-virus just up the road from us. Shops in our village have shut down rather cutting off supplies of bakery goods, meat and veg/fruit. I'm discombobulated...

Not sure I agree. All the advice I have had and seen says we do fall into the higher risk group as we have an underlying health condition.

Nope. have retreated, after a pretty decent week, into a sugary diet again. Have to eat something and if its carbs then its better carbs than nothing.

Thank you. Yes, best to eat something even if its not as low carb as I would like. Had toast this morning with diabetic jam. Think its fish for tea. Or Eggs. I will struggle on.

Well I am trying. Still eating a few too many carbs but a balanced diet including some bread and potatoes is a little more palatable at present. have cut back on the sweet things so only had a ;'sweet day' twice in last ten days now. Trying my best. Next HbA1c is about five weeks away.

HbA1c is a bit misleading. Test me now and it would be in the high 70s...probbaly. Diets gone to pot and I have put on 10lb. I have just got back from a horrible hospital appt and thats made me feel even worse!.

The NAS ...most regrettably, care little for Autistic people but see us as a way to make money. Agree with holistic approach. Already under CMHT but they just sit there passively and nod, they don't interact. Crisis team rang me to ask if i had eaten supper..apparently thats the pointer that...

Meditation and Autism really don't mix as our minds churn and churn. Mindfulness makes the top 5 worst experiences of my life!. I do exercise- I run- makes me think- too much. What would help?. I really don't know anymore. Everything is so horrible and my partner is a terrible listener...

I wouldn't call them if they were my only hope- dreadful experiences with them.

So here I am. Diabetc, Type 2, history of chronic depression, self-harm, thinking more and more about suicide. My diets shot as I cant stomach LC/HF any more and I just cant face eating 'healthy' as I'm Autistic and my already narrow range of foods I can tolerate has now shrunk to a new low...

Thank you. I will have a look at the prawn and mushroom thing.

I don't know about others but since I "fell off" my diet its just gone from bad to worse. I have put on a stone in weight and have had two sugar free days in......a long time. I really try to be good but it doesn't help when your other half is depressed and struggling and has chocolate on...

I keep meaning to have another go- then I fail again. Because I am ill again. Slippery slope.
