[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1545388, member: 17713"] Ok.... I too have limited eating due to stomach / colon disorder but although you should be guided by your levels and carbs this isnt the be all and end all. You need to be able to see the larger picture of the whole nutritional needs more. You are obviously very iintelligent as you were only diagnosed very recently and you have a great, good grasp and understanding ref carbs and protein and fats affecting you. However, You are also recognising that you are a walking, tired skeleton. Good on you for recognising that. I, like you want good levels and on my diagnosis of cancer was thin almost skeletal. I have since put back on two stone and now a size 10. I can only eat limited soft things and the thing is to realise that you can eat more. Its giving yourself the courage to try. I look nutritionally at everything, so although its got some carbs in, my food is small portion. Just gone from a tea plate to a small inner circle of a dinner plate. I have courgette (fried in butter with full fat yogurt abd pesto), butternut squash roasted in oven with olive oil, mashed swede with butter and broccoli (eveeryday for iron) and cauliflower cheese (full fat milk and cheese, little flour and mustard). I have a littke salmon or make it all mashed up in to a hash with either samon or corned beef. I cant eat meat, bread, pasta, leafy veg or tomato and onions. I can eat a specific cream eclair from Tesco with a 37g carb count supposedly but even a bolys for 28g will send me low....but I can eat it and really, really enjoy it. It would be worthwhile asking your dsn for a trial libre for two weeks to help you and to really get the courage to try more. To gain more weight you can learn to look more at your nutrition as a whole. Its important you get iron and vitamins to help the tiredness as well. You are looking after your diabetes fantastically but you now need to expand this to look at your whole nutrition. My friend was admitted to a eating disorder unit in Kent with a bmi of xx. It took her 6 months in there but s now out and doing fantastic helping others visiting schools etc. Also another very intelligent young lady. You can do it. [/QUOTE]
