Hi All
I'm type 2, diagnosed ten years, started insuling in June (on my birthday
)
I'm coping okay with the injections etc but since then I've put over half a stone on. Not sure if it is purely down to the insulin. I eat breakfast at 7am and when I do my 9am two hour test it's down to about 7. It's still three hours until lunch and because I am so frightened of the hypos so find myself snacking mid morning (which I never used to do). I have also limited my gym visits as scared of hypos in there or in the pool :shock:
I have lost weight on weight watchers in the past so was considering trying that again. Nothing drastic, just a stone or so. What do you think? I would like to try the low carb diet but found the group aspect of Weight Watchers helpful and don't know if there is support like this for a low carb diet.
Does anyone have any suggestions what I could eat as a mid morning snack which isn't too carby / unhealthy? How do I stop this fear of hypos driving me to food?
Thanks in advance.
