[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1952417, member: 401801"] High bloodsugars make anxiety and depression worse. (I'm a case in point). In turn, stress can up your bloodsugars too. Have a look around at the dietdoctor.com site and see whether there are any meals there that would suit your needs, both with the diabetes and the autism. They've got a search function that could be quite useful. You don't have to get it right overnight, take your time. took me about 3 months to figure out what worked for me. (Eating to my meter helped. If I tested before a meal and two hours after, and didn't go up more than 2.0 mmol/l, then it was good for me. The numbers don't lie, don't have opinions, don't clash. They just are.). All in all though, most likely, if you have better control of your bloodsugars, you'll feel better mentally too. An extremely low carb diet, called keto (20 grams a day or less) has been tried for people with autism, and the results were promising... Seems certain people in the specrtum responded well to it.
