[QUOTE="gemlou84, post: 2512528, member: 545790"] Hi all, last year I was diagnosed with pre diabetes - managed to control it with low carb diet. However, I started noticing my numbers creeping up recently on finger prick tests so went to doctors for repeat bloods. I’m now type 2 diabetic - with a score of 48. I also have high cholesterol - 6.6 and also an under active thyroid. I’m only 37, weigh 10stone 6lbs - so I’m not overweight. I just feel sad that this is my existence now and my diet is going to be restricted for the rest of my life. I’ll get over it and manage. I’m a bit confused about how I deal with the high cholesterol - doctor talked about statins - I don’t want to go down that route - however I eat more fat now (sausages, cheese, coleslaw and full fat yoghurt) to keep full without carbs! So I don’t understand how I’m supposed to now go carb free and low fat - sounds dreadful. Any advice would be great! Thanks much [/QUOTE]
