[QUOTE="ShelleyDubs, post: 2516681, member: 488279"] My experience: if you ARE crazy - so am I! I was diagnosed T2 initially but incorrectly. Tests proved I am LADA, despite low carb diet, and I am now using insulin basal/bolus. Initially, in a fit of excitement for being able to maybe relax my tightly controlled LC diet, I thought I would reintroduce some beloved carbs such as a comforting bowl of porridge, or a crumpet. However, what amazed me was that I just didn’t enjoy them like I thought I would. I feel better eating low carb, and that feels better than an old fashioned high carb treat. So long story short. I too still grieve for those days of carbs and freedom, but I am getting more positive about the things that don’t spike, and finding comfort in those. Strawberries and cream are a bit hit. And I make a mean Keto custard tart for a weekend dessert. You will get to this point too, I’m sure. Maybe head to “All day I dream about food” on Instagram for loads of recipes that can fill the void. Good luck. [emoji847] [/QUOTE]
