[QUOTE="Sarbak, post: 2306417, member: 530098"] Welcome [USER=530248]@Sandra D[/USER] :) We feel your pain - I was diagnosed around 4 months ago and immediately went on a low GI diet, heavily restricting my carb intake, although I've not taken it as far as doing Keto (which many here do). If you aren't already aware of the macros in the foods you most commonly eat, I would recommend looking them up. I have been counting calories and macros for about a month and was surprised just how many carbs are in what we would think of as non-carb foods. E.g. eggs, broccoli, cottage cheese etc. It's not just bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, sugar etc - they're just the more obvious ones. I only joined here a few days ago and I can confirm what the folk up there have said - they are very friendly, helpful and FULL of useful information. Take a breath. Dry your tears. Take control of your life and focus on the positive changes that will come out of whatever you do next... you can do it! :D [/QUOTE]
