[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1982639, member: 401801"] Honestly, are things getting worse? You know I'm all for diets rather than medication, but man, that's what works for ME. Doesn't have to mean the same for you. If you're this miserable... There's other meds than metformin to get your bloodsugars down. Gliclazide is an option (though careful as you might hypo if you don't eat while on that! Indifference to food won't matter, you'll simply have to.), and yeah, insulin's an option too... If you still have an operation in your future for which to get your bloodsugars down, and this diet isn't working out for you the way you want it to... Time to re-evaluate your options and see whether there's something else you can do. Things with work remain stressful, which isn't good for your bloodsugars either, and it kinda sounds like the diet and the further restrictions are making it that much worse, depression-wise. I do think you have quite the spine for sticking with it, with all the added issues, but... Maybe it's time to explore other avenues? [/QUOTE]
