[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 934328, member: 88961"] Hello there. I don't want to come in and bring a whole new stream of advice to your thread, as the others are pretty much suggesting as I would. However, I would like to comment on your long time between meals and your stated need to eat carbs. Like many others on this forum, I've reduced my carbs to control my diabetes (albeit T2, on no meds, so diet only), and have lived that way, very happily for the 22 months since diagnosis. I made the change after 2-3 weeks, if I recall. But, my personal findings are if I don't want to feel hungry (who does?), and I think my day might go a bit pear shaped, regarding feeding times, I make sure I have some protein, and a bit of fat. That tends to keep my numbers solid, and I rarely feel the need to eat the table leg! For me, if I eat carbs, I get hungrier that if I don't. Like many people, I find carbs are a habit and can be a roller-coaster. You'll get there. This is such a steep learning curve, don't expect yourself to get everything right first time. Good luck.
