[QUOTE="Irish Maeve, post: 642592, member: 122561"] Hello and thanks for your reply. First I should say I have always been very slim and just ate whatever and whenever I wanted. Since being disagnosed 8/9 years ago as Type 2 I have to say I didn't really follow a sensible diet and so my meds kept being increased. I was never assigned a Diabetic Nurse but went to my GPs Clinic every 3 months to get checked. Nobody really gave me any real info about what to eat apart from telling me "everything in moderation". I am a high wired kind of person and always rushing everywhere which keeps the weight off as well but I ate lots of potatoes and bread and didn't take my condition seriously enough. About 6 months ago I was going through a stressful time as my Mother was dying and I started feeling like someone was gripping my throat and choking me. GP put it down to stress and my situation but I noticed it was worse when I ate the following foods: potatoes/bread/pears/apples/strawberries/crackers (of any kind). I stopped all these things and just ate protein and veg or salad and eggs. That's when the weight dropped. Dr prescribed Lansoprazole which I took for 2 months but stopped in Aug as it wasn't helping. Googled "lump in throat sensation" and started on ACV treatment which seems to help. (Sorry this is so long-winded.) I am waiting for appt to get a Gastroscopy done. I have noted all the food you suggest and will definitely add more fat into my diet.
