Message: <blockquote data-quote="SlimLizzy" data-source="post: 1961835" data-attributes="member: 488270">Did spend a few days eating more, making an effort to get 1600-2000 calories.  During that time i felt overfull, was eating without being hungry and after four days got terrible upset stomach, IBS again, so several days not able to eat much at all.  Now eating as the Xpert health course suggests, "to appetite"  Ususally count up at the end of the day.  Its difficult to increase calories without overdosing on fat and getting upset stomach. Am due to have HbA1c in about six weeks. That will be my six month check.  Unless he decides to do it tomorrow, seeing doc about non diabetes issue. Tomorrow is also weighing day.Doc is pretty useless, he spent about two minutes on dietry advice, going on about low fat without realising I already have reduced fat diet (have slightly raised cholesterol, which I have decided to ignore diet-wise for the time being, hoping my more active lifestyle will help with this) and suggesting what I now know to be a low GI approach.  Would change doc, except we are moving house in a few months.  To France:  the land of delicious bread, croissant, cheese, pate, wine and pattiserie - all of which, according to my doctor, are bad for me.  No wonder I am depressed.</blockquote>
