[QUOTE="srobertson06, post: 1288101, member: 169182"] Sorry you are feeling so fed up --- hang in there. Sorry if you know all the following but it is worth remembering that if you are feeling unwell in any way or dealing with a lot of stress then this I believe sends the blood glucose readings up regardless of what you are eating. So you could be doing it all correctly and still getting higher readings. It is worth it - I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago and the impact on my life has not been easy to deal with, yes low carb is difficult or at least I also find it difficult - the support on this site is amazing. The really good things I have found to eat are natural full fat Greek yogurt - I add a sugar free, calorie free syrup to it which I get from the web just to take off the sharp taste that I do not like in yogurt and I have this sometimes twice a day but generally for breakfast. Lunch tends to be salad, sandwich if I have no other alternative......... Evening meal is the one I really struggle with, but a veg stir fry or meat and veg generally - I am not too adventurous food wise. Hoping that might help you to not give up on yourself. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
