[QUOTE="Phoenix55, post: 1368225, member: 242273"] Welcome to the world of type 2. There seem to be a lot of contradictions, misinformation and general confusion in the medical community and in the population at large about diabetes. There are a couple of things you should know: 1) after a couple of weeks going at a snails pace round the supermarket you will sort out the foods that you can eat and those best avoided and be back to almost your usual time. 2) everyone is different so we all have to find our own way. Your meter becomes your best friend, your food diary a habit and walking a new way of life. On here we try to support each other yet let each find their own way. It can be daunting at times, particularly when you think 'how did that happen?' when the meter result gives you a surprise, sometimes it is good other times not so good. If you are eating full fat and have dropped the carbs then the weight will start to come off. I lost about a pound a week for months until I stepped up the amount of fats I was eating. Now I just have to be careful when I am eating out. You have made a good start. Good luck [/QUOTE]
