Hi everyone, thanks for allowing me in!
I am pre diabetic and weigh 25 stone. Clearly what I have is more than just a situation of "eat less, lose weight" as there are mental issues involved as I was neglected and starved as a child and now food is the whole world to me!
I am not yet diabetic, but very close. I have been on Metformin and Victoza for years and of course now Victoza is as rare as hen's teeth and I can't get it anymore, so I am here to ask advice.
I know this is insane, but after having an eating disorder since I was 6, I don't know how to eat normally. Can someone please link me to the best (and most sustainable and realistic) diet plan I can do to lower my blood sugar? I don't know what is good food or bad! I literally need the basics because I don't have a clue and you're all so clued up. I don't understand how Diabetes works or how insulin is made or used - I am a complete beginner to all this. Any guides for idiots would be appreciated!
Thank you all so much in advance for being kind,
Carrie
