[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2472407, member: 521079"] Hi there, you have high blood levels and as [USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER] says, it’s hardly surprising you are still having the side effects of that. When those improve ideally the side effects will diminish. Hopefully you get the clinic soon Its a lot to take in, we know that, many of us have gone through the same thing, trying to understand how and why. My family has a history of T2 but I still am learning, but there is a path through blood testing will help but I’m afraid you mention one of the foods that is not so good and and that’s pasta. Fruit also tends not to be good, but there are some lower carb berries, so strawberries, raspberries are generally much better. Personally I have scales and try to keep track of the portion sizes but I have found from my own experience that carbs tend to be more moreish, I need more to feel satisfied so as others will mention, fats and protein will help even though it can seem against a lot of mainstream advice dietdoctor is a site I have seen recommended ([URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb[/URL]) and if you search for any keto foods that because they are low to no carbs should fit in too. It is a change, but you can have a highly varied and nutritious diet still. Lower carbs have helped a lot of us, and can take some adapting to as we are so used to being pushed towards “healthier carbs” which unfortunately aren’t much better. Everybody is different so one diet doesn’t fit all perfectly. I aim for below 150g of carbs a day, you will see some of the forums who are lower at the moment it might be that they advise more drugs and that’s your choice, getting those bloods down is important. There are options, and these forums can help [/QUOTE]
