[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 247948"] Hi Helen, I totally understand the feeling. Although I've been diagnosed type 2 for over 5 years, it just hits me sometimes. My wife is a very keen (and good) cook and I've been low-carbing just the last couple of months so it's really started to affect her too. I can't help much with the glumness - this will come and go, at least it does with me. But you can eat a lot of normal things on a low carb diet. We have found it easier if she cooks meats etc normally, but I'll not have pasta or rice, but have salads and veg instead. We haven't, as yet, found diabetic cook books much help as they don't concentrate on low carb. One benefit, aside from the almost inevitable weight loss, is that your taste buds are likely to improve so you may find your interest in food is maintained. Simon [/QUOTE]
