[QUOTE="vanillapie, post: 1788995, member: 472392"] One of the best things I learned from this forum is that veggies aren't all as important as they're cracked up to be. I hate most veggies, and the ones I do like are too carby for me to have now. I rarely eat veggies now, maybe a bit of spinach, lettuce or cucumber, occasionally some riced broccoli with some garlic, but very little. Unfortunately I love fruit, but I am learning to have just the occasional grape or berry (put them in the freezer to make them last longer when eating!). It's the carbs that are the issue. I highly recommend this forum for help, tips and support - I've only been here a month or so, with anxiety issues also, and have found it to be invaluable in coming to terms with things and changing my diet. Getting a meter will be useful. Most testers come with lancets and pens in which you don't see the lancet itself and you just press a button. I still have to work myself up to press the button each time, but it's over within a second. Definitely worth considering if you're serious about taking control of your health. Good luck on your journey - we're all here to help! :) [/QUOTE]
