Hi @Shelly47 and welcome to the forum. I've been hanging around here for over five years and stories like yours come up all the time ...... and then, a few months later, the same people report their successes and their greatly improved health.find it hard to see a happy future where I cannot eat the things I want.
Hopefully you have come to the right place..Hello.
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 18 months ago. To be honest I haven't taken it very seriously and have recently been put on metformin. I also have medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Yesterday I had a phone call appointment with my GP and I found out I have elevated liver function tests so will need further tests including a liver scan. He asked me was I overweight. I am easily 4 to 5 stones overweight. I have struggled with my weight all of my life. I know what I should and shouldn't eat but just cannot stick to a healthy diet. I feel very low. And sad. And find it hard to see a happy future where I cannot eat the things I want.

I will check this out!Google keto chocolate mug cake. The recipe given is enough to make 2 ramakins, 70 seconds or so in the microwave, serve with lashings of double cream!
You here make the assumption that cakes, ice cream and sugar is part of a healthy balanced diet. Most people here don't eat these things. Instead they eat a healthy low carbohydrate diet which is composed of meat, fish, dairy, eggs, green vegetables, some berries (in moderation) with the super extras of butter, cream and cheese.this is on the expense of eating a healthy balanced diet
That was the way I looked at things that I used to think were "treats" - "slow acting poison"... I think if you can maintain that then you'll get some great results whilst enjoying loads of really good food.Thank you for all the replies. I'm feeling better now I have a sweet tooth and the things I know I shouldn't eat fall into this category. Ice cream, cake, sweets. I need to change my mindset and realise that these foods are not treats, to me they are just a slow acting poison

It is to take insulin. Basically, you replace the ineffective insulin with injected insulin and try to mimic the action of the natural body insulin. .
No! It is YOU that is making assumptions. I don't know where did you get the cakes, ice-cream and sugar. It are you just falling into the habit of picking up on me?!You here make the assumption that cakes, ice cream and sugar is part of a healthy balanced diet. Most people here don't eat these things.

Can you please show me what is "unhealthy" in that list of food types.
Errrr....I do not comment on yours
