[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2400651, member: 41816"] ok, so you seem to have a very literal understanding of what people say to you. Then you take it as fact and make it a foundation of your thinking. It is very important that you reconsider the following: they told you that you had insulin resistance while you were pregnant. This was because being pregnant can cause insulin resistance because if the pregnancy hormones. It does not mean that you must automatically be insulin resistant for ever after the pregnancy is over. being told that CBT may involve homework does not mean you would be forced to eat cake. That was a rather silly example by the nurse. You would get to discuss the choice of homework with the CBT person, and you would be just as likely to be asked to go for a walk, or breathing exercises, or one of 50 thousand other possibilities. And it would always be your choice whether to do that homework, or not. and most importantly, just because you don’t know how to carb count at the moment, doesn’t mean you can’t learn. Everyone here on the forum had to start somewhere and learn. It involves reading labels and a little maths. None of us got it right in the beginning, but we learned, and we learned from our mistakes. You can too. And after a while you will gain confidence. Did you check out the diet doctor link someone kindly mentioned above? Lots of sensible, useful, helpful information there. No scaremongering. No confusing American counting systems. Lots of advice, menus and even shopping lists, with the carbs already counted for you. [/QUOTE]
