bean diagnosed t2 for 2 months and am sick of it all. Just want things to be normal again. I am 68 years old and feel there's nothing to look forward to but veg and salad. I love a cup of tea and a bun
I understand that. It can seem daunting if you only look at what you can't have.bean diagnosed t2 for 2 months and am sick of it all. Just want things to be normal again. I am 68 years old and feel there's nothing to look forward to but veg and salad. I love a cup of tea and a bun
You're not alone! We've all been through the truly awful shock of first diagnosis. It does get better, though, especially with all the help, support and even fun you will find on this forum. I drink huge mugs of tea with double cream instead of milk. I didn't fancy it in the beginning, but now I love the richness (almost like having a biscuit). Cream in coffee is even better. And assuming you are limiting your carbs, cream has half the carbs of milk. Good luck for now, I'm sure we'll meet again somewhere here. Weekends are a bit quiet on the Forum, should liven upon Monday.bean diagnosed t2 for 2 months and am sick of it all. Just want things to be normal again.

You can get nearly instant feedback with a free meter (though you will have to pay for a tub of strips costing £7.75. You are entitled not to pay VAT on top of that, just put "Diabetes" as the reason on the form when you order. You can get a lot of precous info. and also control of your own life for £7.75!Must say I have had a few Christmas treats but I don't know how this does affect blood when I have to wait months.
Same here, i was diagnosed type 1, 2 months ago and have been sick of poking my finger and injecting every day. The sad part is from what i read here no low carb or any special diet will reverse my condition. If i try to eat a bun i will need to inject 5 unit or more.

Hi@L1ncslass I'm 71 years old and started the LCHF diet 12 months ago it is a new learning curve for us but it is do-ableAre you now following a Low Carb High Fat diet? If so you've got 68yrs of old eating habits to change, it takes time to change your mindset and build a new data back of recipes. There are ones for LC cakes and buns out there [everything in moderation] and cups of tea aren't off limits.
Hi someone on here recommended the Tee2 £7.50 per tub of 50 strips meter free so I ordered onlast week received the order from spirit health care. Within a few days, bought it for my husband type2 and I have this meter from my surgery so we can use each other's strips I find it simple to use and probably has accurate has most meters!
