[QUOTE="woollygal, post: 2383172, member: 489059"] Could age affect my body responding to keto? Hadn’t thought of that. I’ll add hrt to the dr call list as well. I’m worried the dr won’t give me the blood tests for c peptide. I think I’ve asked before and she just said no, no need you are type 2. Although I guess I have some ammo this time in that I was so strict, got to order my shopping and I’m completely stuck as to what to buy. Do I stay so strict on keto (not sure I can stomach that again) or do I increase a bit to maybe 50g. If keto isn’t going to work I just don’t see point in depriving myself. I wasn’t enjoying the food it really was a means to an end. If going slightly higher means I can add some veg to my meals and change things a bit. Instead of keto chicken soup every day I could have a broccoli soup. My choice would be stay where I was rather than deteriorate, it’s just for the last three months my mission (literally obsessively- it’s the only way I could stop the cravings) was to aim for remission or at least pre diabetes and then maybe come off the meds, maybe introduce some carbs and be less restrictive. So it’s almost like everything I’ve worked for has been destroyed, slightly melodramatic and I’m slowly getting over it, but I am still struggling to even want to eat meat lol. Having said that I don’t much fancy bread or porridge either. I seem to have gone off all food except chocolate. Although me giving the D the finger has lead to it giving me the even bigger stronger finger back (today feeling bit icky]. I know others don’t see keto as being harsh but I do feel my diet of under 10g was harsh, I don’t think I could sustain it long term. Just eating the same thing day in day out with no change or change in flavour and just meat and dairy was too strict. I fancy a tomato based thing, just something with a zing, but yes, main problem today is knowing what to buy, do I stick with what I’ve been eating for the last three months (which I really don’t want) or do I change it, but to be honest I’m not sure what to change it to. Not sure how to introduce things. I’m very stuck in general I think. [/QUOTE]
