[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2265696, member: 511345"] I like [USER=475901]@TriciaWs[/USER] have not lost my sweet tooth- I wish I had. I had a very bad day yesterday with trying something with artificial sweeteners and being really unwell following that and high blood sugars to boot. I have had a virus (not Covid) for a few days and really wanted some comfort foods- instead sicker than before. I know it is for life and it saddens me. This forum and helped a lot. Ultimately I know that I either keep very low carb or I risk ending up with significant diabetic complications. The annoying thing for me is my 80 year old diabetic mother just ignores her conditions, eats high carb and has no complications. The thing is I know there are no guarantees. I find moderation a lot harder than nothing but some days I do wish I could do moderation. If you are able to do that then it comes back to regular testing and seeing what your body can tolerate. I don't think there really is any alternative to regular testing if not doing low carb. If you do go low carb then the testing is less necessary. For me testing is one way to make sure I don't carb creep- I have been guilty of that this week anyway- feeling unwell just drives me to the old habits of comfort food. I guess I've only been eating this way for less than a year after a lifetime of high carb- I've still got time for my sweet tooth to die out- seriously if I know which of my teeth was that sweet tooth I'd be off to the dentist to get it pulled out lol. I think you either make the choice to test regularly or accept that it's low carb. Good luck [/QUOTE]
