[QUOTE="KathyCP, post: 1641259, member: 424527"] Hi Hilmar, welcome to the forum - we're all members of a club we'd rather have nothing to do with! i remember how scared i was when i was first diagnosed, finding myself in tears when i wasn't expecting to, etc.,etc. the good news is that your tastes can change and the cravings for sugar and carbs go away after time - but it can take a little while for your body to reset itself, so patience and hanging in there is needed. the really important thing is not to beat yourself up if you fall off the low-carb/low-sugar wagon - that doesn't make you a bad person, and it also doesn't mean that any efforts you've already made have been wasted. just keep going as best you can, and try switching to food like nuts when you're desperate for a snack. i would also really encourage you to try and exercise - as someone who would much rather stay in bed than do anything energetic, i know how hard it can be to make yourself be active, but it is really worth it - i dance around my sitting room every day, as at least if there is music playing, there is a chance that i can make myself get up and move! good luck and keep going. :) [/QUOTE]
