[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1960329, member: 401801"] Oh, high bloodsugar is "not an issue" eh? It'll just help you work yourself into the ground quicker. *sigh*. Like others said, get those numbers, and the tools to take care of yourself. Time to put you and yours first. Get a meter to check your bloods, (check before a meal and 2 hours after the first bite. if you go up more than 2.0 mmol/l, the meal was carbier than you could process back out again.). Learn what food is actually healthy for a T2. The usual "healthy" foods aren't... No more potatoes, bread, rice, pasta (Brown nor white!) corn, muesli/cereals, fruits, other than berries, starfruit, avocado and tomatoes... You could let us know what your usual meals look like, and we could weak them for you. It's a shame your GP isn't supportive of you and your situation (doesn't sound like he is, anyway)... High bloodsugars don't do anything for your emotional wellbeing, and stress doesn't help bloodsugars either. Bit of a vicious circle, that... Not to mention any damage done to your eyes, nerveendings, kidneys, heart... And the latter has been through quite enough. You're angry, and rightfully so. Time to put your foot down, and get yourself some help in caring for a brother who, from the sound of it, put himself where he is now. (Not to sound heartless, but .... You've got enough to contend with!). Take care of you. It'll help you live a longer, happier life with a more pleasant marriage to boot. Kick ***! Jo [/QUOTE]
