[QUOTE="Bs0lth, post: 1416242, member: 385145"] Thanks everyone, [USER=88961]@AndBreathe[/USER] you make a valid point along with [USER=28960]@Energize[/USER] if I was allergic to any other kind of food they would be a lot more sympathetic. It's only a couple of friends but I suppose they think they have my best interests at heart in a screwed up way. It was my doctor that suggested low carb diet, and the discussion I had with him yesterday he's totally behind it. Our aim is to try to stop increasing my meds and also keep me from using insulin for as long as possible. He was open to me trying to get my BS levels diwn by diet before he started my on insulin and I have had nothing but support for my choices. I know my sister knows a lot about diabetes, she'd my mums carer and she does control mums levels by diet alone, but, the highest level my mums been is no where near where mine were sitting. So we are just going to have to agree to disagree on my diet. I'm in control of what I eat, it's my body and to be honest let them get on with it... I am feeling a lot better, I'm more active than I've been in years and to be honest the thought of going back is not a good one. It was stressing me, which is never a good thing when we had yet another argument about pasta and the amount I should be eating... [/QUOTE]
