Thanks for the refresher Daisy1. Catsymoo, I know all about overdoing and regrets! :lol: SO, the last 3 days haven't been too great as well. I am due for my first HbA1c test this Saturday and am now in panic mode. I am sure the terrible diet I've had will show in my results. :oops: I'm going...

I love fruit as well and can easily gorge on more than my allowed portion! Right now, I am absolutely nuts about pineapple - they are readily available where I am in Singapore and are usually juicy and very sweet! The challenge is in STOPPING at one slice, especially when I could eat half a...

Hi all. It's been a while since I last posted/lurked here and I am going to try to be more conscientious about that since it seems that I have completely fallen off the wagon without at least listening in to a support group. :oops: My readings, which I managed to keep between 4 - 7, I'm ashamed...

I'm just about going into 8 weeks since I've been diagnosed as Type 2 and while I was quite good with my carb and sugar control initially, I have been VERY BAD the last 2 weeks with justifying all sorts of treats. :oops: On a daily basis over the last 2 weeks, I have allowed myself about 4-6...

ShyGirl, I have a couple of veggie friends and food choices sometimes really aren't easy! All the best to you too and I hope you discover lots of delicious options.

Thank you all for the encouragement and great food ideas. I do agree - I feel lucky to have found this forum as I scrolled through tons and tons of posts that seemed to offer endless support. And then of course I read the threads on retinopathy - and my concerns about food seem so so small in...

Thank you for the replies and advise. Dawnmc, yes, those choices do sound delicious but I want so much more. :( Just off the top of my head, I already miss and could cry for: a good fiery Phad Thai noodles dish, the best braised chicken rice, yummy sushi rice rolls, piping hot garlic naan fresh...

Hi Everyone, I am an absolute foodie and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after a kidney infection 2.5 weeks ago. Since then, my moods have veered between feeling positive (glad that I found out and now can take charge) and absolute dejection and despair. I have been trying to eat well and...
