However I was sure I didn’t want medication so I have gone low carb. I have always eaten a very high carb diet, even when on one of my many (many) diets. I thought it would be really hard and was so worried I would find it hard to sustain. 1 month in (so still early days) I have lost 11lbs, and for the first time in my life I’m not hungry. Even when my tummy is empty I haven’t felt the need to reach for food. I have 1 main meal in the evening with a lighter lunch. I have gradually come to this as I have almost fallen into intermittent fasting. I saw that my bg is generally higher through the morning so waiting till later to eat means better numbers. I also decided to use a CGM for now to learn what foods work/don’t work for me but I will only use this for 2/3 months while I get a hang of it all. I have a very sweet tooth but going low carb has kicked all those cravings into touch. I am starting to feel so much more positive and all of this is thanks to this group! The help, support and info here is invaluable! Keep going, you are doing a fantastic job!</p></blockquote><p></p>
