[QUOTE="Japes, post: 2334639, member: 277410"] It's your choice is the simple answer. But, for what it's worth, the thought of eating the higher carb and/or sweeter foods is always much more enjoyable than the reality for me. I love the immediate taste, I hate the after-effects. Pre-diabetes I would eat a Twix most days and really missed it when I went very low carb. It was the first thing I tried when I was put on insulin and had learned to carb count. I spat it out and had to get something else to cover the insulin. That's how dramatically my taste buds had changed. Whilst I eat more carbs now than I did when I was in my misdiagnosed T2 days, I prefer to eat what I enjoy now, and not worry about the diabetes side of life. I'm also someone who has long enjoyed a solitary Christmas, which makes my food a lot easier than within a group situation where I'm often deemed "fussy"! [/QUOTE]
