[QUOTE="Mary Morton, post: 908922, member: 197008"] This really goes to show that you're human. One episode shouldn't affect your willpower long term. I've been Type 2 for 5 years and I'm still diet controlled. I put this down mainly to 2 things: Fear and Knowledge. The Fear was due to my dad's diabetes which resulted in the amputation of both legs and a young death. Knowledge came from Diabetes UK cookbooks which did not advocate starvation but balancing the right foods to fit with the GI. I lost 2stone + very quickly, the sugar levels dropped drastically and I stuck to it because I discovered new and enjoyable ways of eating. Recently I've been"naughty" chips and larger carb portions than I should, and the weight's built up. But I know how to sort it and I will. Can I suggest you try an Anthony Worrall Thompson/DiabetesUK cookbook and learn what delicious food there is for people like us. Don't be bored or half starved. Enjoy good healthy food! [/QUOTE]
