[QUOTE="millie_uk, post: 283276, member: 44850"] was diagnosed last month and felt the same. I love food and it is a big part of my life. My bg must have been really high because of the problems I was having. It's only been a month for me this coming week but I can't say I am missing all my sweet foods. I had my fasting bg down to 6.7 then been on holiday the past ten days. My bg's have been between 9 and 10.5 fasting since then, I haven't been eating junk but maybe eating too much. I had a carvery dinner one day but instead of loads of roasters I only had 2 small ones, this didn't put my bg up by much. today we had a pizza hut lunch. Instead of eating a whole pizza I had a starter of garlic prawns, gave the garlic bread to my partner, then we ordered one large thin crust pizza and I had 2 slices, then ate the topping off the third slice, mind you, I didn't eat all the dough from the second slice. I had a side salad and some diet coke. I was full and only put my bg up by 1.4 after 2 hours then it came down again. If I want something sweet I have one sugar free Werthers or a square of 85% cocoa chocolate. I know I have made and will have to continue to keep up with the changes and already I have been clear of thrush and urine infections that I had for 7 months. I had an insect bite that didn't heal after 8 months but it has completely healed after one month of changes. I know I will struggle to not eat but I really enjoy salads and fish, nuts, seeds etc so will be able to pick at these instead of all the junk I used to snack on. In the long run I know it will benefit me greatly and hopefully keep,me from developing further complications or illnesses. I won't be put on any medication until three months visiting the clinic but know that I will end up on tablets but this will also benefit me. And better to find out now rather than go uk diagnosed for more years and end up really I'll. Good luck to you. I have found this website really useful and everyone has been so helpful Millie.
