[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1068988, member: 221545"] I was getting pretty low late evenings (often after testing post din-dins) until I started onto a very low carb diet and started to see results. I don't know if I'd call it depression as such...I mean I think it was totally understandable to be negative when you are not in control (not to say that depression can't be a totally understandable reaction). I don't want to be patronising...so excuse me f it sounds that way....but it does make such a difference being in any sort of control, and the more you can see progress due to that control the easier it gets. I still get a bit hacked off when the reading's a wee bit higher than I wanted but I then think about how high it used to be. And, I still get a bit hacked off now and then at having to be so focused on what not to eat, but mostly it's almost second nature now. What I am saying is...why wouldn't you be down about it at first? Totally natural for most people, I'm sure. So..don't make it into more in your mind...there's a wee demon inside all of us wants us to be depressed, and I'm sure the best thing to do is recognise that and starve the wee scumbag till he crinkles up from getting no attention. Don't overthink, but do inform yourself and test (expecting negative results at first) and record what you eat and take action to get in control...the more you get in control, the less down...I actually felt pretty high a few days into the diet as my readings improved pretty quickly. Don't focus on the low feelings...focus on what to do...and get to the nice feelings. And remember..you're only human. Good luck. Paul [/QUOTE]
