[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 1982589, member: 22428"] This is just my opinion but maybe this needs to look at this holistically and consider everything that you have to deal with, especially your sensory issues around food, for people with autism it isn't just a case of not liking something (food wise in this case) it can actually cause physical pain and all consuming sensory overload. So maybe going very low carb isn't for you - there is no point in putting yourself through so much stress and discomfort- everyone has a right to enjoy their life not just live it! Maybe go back to some of the foods you enjoy in small portions whilst doing intensive testing to see if you can tolerate them, maybe speak to your GP about actually having some medication to help you. There are lots of options before insulin. We all want to manage our T2 with diet alone but sometimes for whatever reason that's not possible, and there is nothing wrong with that, THERE IS NO SHAME IN NEEDING MEDS TO DO THAT! Needing meds is not failure It's YOUR diabetes, YOUR life - it's your right to live it the way that is best for you all round :) [/QUOTE]
