So do you think that even the NHS would be encouraging you to eat cakes, chocolate and crisps at the weekend, with the recent HbA1c you have just had?
I agree that it is a huge adjustment in thinking, but you have been given consistent advice from everyone on this thread - restrict your carbs to within levels your body can tolerate. Check the carb content in foods. Test your blood glucose to discover what works for you.
Everyone who has posted on this thread, including myself, has done so in order to help you.
We have all been where you are now, and we are all trying to give you the tools you need to get control of you blood glucose, your diabetes and ultimately your health.
We have also all survived the transition to a new, low carb way of eating, and I think many will agree that once you get the hang of it, low carb food can be delicious, varied and very, very enjoyable.
