[QUOTE="Bex72, post: 2304148, member: 528595"] Hi Becky The low carb diet is both easy and hard, I'm not craving foods but just miss the idea of them and the social aspect. I have been mourning what I can no longer eat and drink (if I'm going to stay off meds). I am on meds for life for thyroid disease. I have had large parts of my life on meds for severe migraine with aura. I use HRT. When I was diagnosed T2DM I also got a diagnosis of high cholesterol and was ofered statins. I declined. If I can keep off meds for diabetes it will be a bonus. I still feel stunned that cornflakes have a higher glycemic index than coco pops! My love affair with sauvignon blanc may be over but rum and coke zero is my new poison. Only 1 or 2 though. It just seems so bizarre that I didn't realise carbs such as bread, rice, pasta are quickly converted to glucose once digested. It's such a learning curve and so much trial and error in finding what foods keep your blood sugar stable. Good luck, you're not alone. [/QUOTE]
