Remission is still a worthy goal... It doesn't mean going back to old eating habits, but it does mean living a long, painfree and healthy life. Keep your legs, your eyesight, a functioning heart... Nice, no?To add, my doctor said they’re hopeful I could put it into remission and I lit up at the thought as I thought this mean I could somewhat go back to how I used to be (but not excessively), though reading on here seems like this is not true and people eat and sacrifice just as much after ‘remission’ as when they were trying to get to it. It was the one beacon of hope I had to go back to something resembling a normal life, but even that seems gone now.
There is no cure, remission just means that by not eating the stuff that causes raised levels, your blood sugar is in the same range as a non diabetic. And your chances of avoiding the many health problems that are caused by high blood sugar, will be very much lessened.One thing I’m trying to understand is when people are lucky enough to get to remission, can they not just ease up a little bit without the risk of going back? Is a naughty meal a few days in a row going to send them back to a diabetic range that quickly?
Well, far as burgers go, I feel they taste better without the bun... They stay juicier. But that's just me.I know you’re trying to help and I really appreciate it. So thank you.
I just still can’t come to terms with it. Even if it can be made ‘easy’ when on the go or somewhere new, the idea of eating a burger without the bun and no fries is so depressing it’s unreal. And I still don’t know what a low carb veggie option that’s filling will be in a restaurant.
I’ve got two trips to the US this year to see my wife’s family and the idea of a holiday now just seems like a difficult, joyless affair.
Read the above , then ask yourself if eating food you now know to be detrimental to your health, is really more important than spending time enjoying the company of your family and visiting new places? Really think about it, don't answer on here, its for you to think about.I’ve got two trips to the US this year to see my wife’s family and the idea of a holiday now just seems like a difficult, joyless affair.
Great answer & what a lovely bonus benefit to have.Best benefit of all is the way the carb monster inside gets evicted and no longer leads you to believe food must be around every corner, with snacks in between! You'll find filling, sustaining food that easily sees you go considerable times between eating, without even noticing
