[QUOTE="clairy clutterbuck, post: 248444, member: 23614"] Hi Helen and all you other new and relatively newly diagnosed members. The greatest thing you have done so very early on is to face it and learn all you can and that is incredibly brave. Finding this site is really good news for you. I was diagnosed in 2002 and buried my head in the sand for years-too scared to find out what it all really meant and then when I finally realised the seriousness of it started to do some research and went what you are going through now. I have found that with the right diet and advice it doesnt have to be all doom and gloom. I just wish I had been brave enough to learn about it earlier like you all are. I say little and read lots in here because the more experienced members have a lot to offer and welcome questions. I still have days when I dont sleep or worry about the future especially if I have eaten something I really shouldnt, I think thats part and parcel of the condition. But the best advice I was given is: test an hour before meals, and two hours after meals to start with - get an idea of what YOU can eat and what you cant. make sure you get enough sleep, being tired makes me low and cant be bothered which is a disaster if you need to diet and exercise like I do, and make sure you put yourself first. I have spent many years looking after every Tom, **** and Harry when in need at the cost of myself! No more. Good luck! and try Whitby Jets chicken nuggets..... oh my goodness, they are delicious and have fun trying all the other low carb recipes, my husband is still recovering from the cheeseburger wrapped in giant mushrooms but I did hear him telling his friends "it was actually not bad at all!" :lol: Clairy xx [/QUOTE]
