[QUOTE="Jem, post: 22753, member: 11146"] Hellooo ... Still yet to have my diabetic consult, so putting all my faith in you lot ;) Only advice (apart from meds) at Dr's appt was to "try and lose weight". So having read a lot of info here and in various sources I have decided to go the low-carb route to managing my blood sugars. When I was pregnant (BACKSTORY: Gestational Diabetes, pushing insulin humulog some 100unit per main meal lol towards the end) I experienced keto-acidosis in a rather unpleasant manner, if I didn't manage to keep anything I ate and spent many weeks in hospital on drips to keep my fluids up - that state is therefore something I began to want to avoid at all costs as it had made me feel like death in a blender. (sorry, rambled) soooooo - for many years I've done the classic high carb low fat route to so-called "healthy eating" and where that got me is fatter and diabetic full time. I've been diagnosed two weeks now and aside from one small mis-demeanor involving my (laughable) attempt at home-made-low-carb-bread which despite my best skills (and I'm a good cook) made my BG stay up over 10 at 2 hours past the eating (that was one small slice) ... I've been eating very low carb diet. So far, no weight-loss miracles have occurred (there was me thinking I'd me Miss Bikini Xmas Dolly by DEcember) - so I'm wondering what precisely else I can do? Toe is on the mend (after incident involving a jar of honey, my foot and a 6 foot fall from a cupboard) so I'm starting running again (read: wobbling and sweating lots) but I have been walking lots anyhow, and have a 4 year old kid, so sitting isn't really a viable passtime anyhow. Any hints would be hugely gratefully received!!! Many thanks, Jem xoxoxox [/QUOTE]
