[QUOTE="cugila, post: 183116, member: 15325"] That's one of the problems.......you haven't said what sort of foods you are eating. Many of the things we were all probably told were healthy and should eat with every meal (carbs) for a lot of us are just not advisable. Hence the advice to reduce the carbs, as to how much, that is a matter for the individual. You do not have to go low carbs (less than 50g) but any reduction of carbs will help as it is shown to lower Bg levels. I stuck to the NHS 'healthy' diet for over 10 yrs before I realised THAT was the cause of all my problems. Since lowering carb intake, I have seen Bg levels drop dramatically, weight loss of over 5 1/2 stone, Blood Pressure reduced, lipid levels all improved etc. Just because I stopped listening to a Dietician......... As for the depression/stress etc, a hard place to be. I know from my own experience with it some years ago. Get the GP appointment and ask for a referral to a Counsellor. The issues you have mentioned in your latest post will all contribute to low self esteem. Try and get that dealt with before worrying too much about the Diabetes. It is hard trying to juggle too many things at once. :( [/QUOTE]
