Not worried about the hunger pangs. I'm into my second week, they are starting to settle. Mainly eating salad, and whatever protein I have on hand, eggs, ham, tuna. I did have the occasional protein shake but stop that at day four.

Anyways, to answer peeps questions; I'm a big girl, so I've a ways...

Hi, Newly diagnosed yesterday. Still really overwhelmed. Have a blood glucose of over 100, and I have absolutely no idea where to start. I'm not in ketosis but I feel like absoulute ****. I have already started looking at low carb pre-packaged meal services while I get my head around this. I...
