Is everyone here demotivating and unhelpful as you?The low carb 'thing' does work and has been proven to be an effective way for many people to manage bg levels.
If you don't want to use it, that's your choice. Hope you've found an effective way to keep your sugars down.
That's my problem. I never feel full unless it's bread. Protein is a bit an issue, I don't drink milk and can't eat eggs or beans. And to be honest I simply don't have the time cooking 2 different meals every day.
I like cheese. Guess my biggest problem is that only bread makes me feel full and that I have eaten. I feel like an addict, can't leave the bread. It's all really frustrating. Are there somewhere courses for information about living with diabetes available? All information I have are from Google.HiIt sounds like you have a number of things you can't eat, which must make it harder for you.
Can you/do you eat meat, fish or cheese?
Oh and I eat meat.I like cheese. Guess my biggest problem is that only bread makes me feel full and that I have eaten. I feel like an addict, can't leave the bread. It's all really frustrating.

Thought people here to help. My mistake to think that.
With respect, you didn't start off your thread by saying "the low carb thing isn't working for ME' , you simply wrote " the low carb thing doesn't work" thereby calling into question a method that many on the forum know to be effective.
Tgank you. Yes,I test sometimes. Guess at the moment I'm at a point where I don't care anymoreThere's the DESMOND course for people with Type 2. You could ask about that.
If you love your bread, could you still have some but reduce the amount a little? I don't know if you test your blood sugar, but if you do it will give you an idea about how much bread you can have without it going too high.
I do that but somehow it doesn't seem to work well. I just can't stop eatingOkI'm Type 1 so I can take insulin to cover my carbs, but even then I wouldn't eat giant quantities of them (not saying that you do). So I learnt to re-balance my plate a bit. If I'm having, say, a roast dinner, I'd give myself less roast potatoes then 'fill the gaps' with meat and plenty of veg. That way you can keep the carbs down, but not feel deprived or hungry.

To be honest, I never had any information apart from Google things and being told leave bread... eat salat. Time to learn is optional as Student, and with a full time job. But I will try. Thank you!Have you just been diagnosed? The first steps are hard - but worth it. Believe me I LOVE bread, but I'm learning to cope without it. You have to learn to read labels ie Burgen bread is only around 10g carbs per slice, many people have a slice of this brand if they need bread. You can treat this whole thing as a time to try new foods - I'm loving some of the new things I've discovered ie porridge without sugar is edible
But you have to put time in to learn - if you are willing to do that there are many people here who will help you.
