[QUOTE="Lally123, post: 1744802, member: 379571"] @Glitter2. Just to give you a bit of hope and a different viewpoint. I am Just like you in that I find very low carb food disgusting. I think it's all the fat plus I just don't like or enjoy enough of the food. I did give it a go for my first month after diagnosis but it didn't work for me my blood glucose was all over the place. And I got to the point where I just couldn't face that food anymore. So I added in some carbs, sensible ones like normal bread but the sensible option - seeded, wholemeal is a good option rather than white etc. I eat fruit, but I look at the carb count of everything I eat and try to stay below 100g per.day, often around 70-80g. My hba1c started at 87, down to 60 something after 3 months. Then got put on the lowest dose of gliclazide in addition to metformin which has been brilliant and my last hba1c was 40. I completely disagree that the choices are low carb or progression, there are plenty of ways to manage diabetes and very low carb is only one of them. My way works for me. You too will find a way that works for you but eating a diet you hate for the rest of your life won't be that way! Don't see taking medication as a failure, be very aware of the carbs you are eating and try to make lower carb choices where you can but you're very new to this and in time you will find your own way.
