[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2266332, member: 480869"] actually plenty of dieticians would shove you on a low fat high carb diet and watch your hb1ac rise again loads of free online resources. I’ve never paid for any. Start with dietdoctor.com and Ditchthecarbs.com. No need to sign up for anything. Lots of ideas re food not being limited to soggy bland veg, sandwiches and fruit above and in the websites. I’d be miserable if that’s what I was eating too....there’s no need to suffer this way. I’d find it easier food wise to be single. Only me to please and cook for. More time to cook and prepare not juggling everyone else’s needs. Thinking ahead is the key here, not trying to grab stuff on the run, especially from convenience stores that are anything but for low carb options. if a person leaves or won’t get involved because you are diabetic or taking care to improve your health then why would you want them anyway? Or could your mood/attitude be more of the issue possibly? Many of us find it tough being diagnosed and need to rant and have every right to be upset or angry. Letting that negativity dominate our lives for too long though isn’t good, in lots of ways. The death sentence is doing nothing, eating the wrong stuff and watching complication after complication set in. Yes changing attitudes to food is hard. If you really can’t then (extra) medication helps - but isn’t as effective at limiting complications as diet even if it does help blood glucose levels. Sadly you are the only one who can make the changes, not drs,nurses, dieticians or partners. It is your decision where you go from here, but we are all here to help make it easier if you want that.
