[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2194348, member: 401801"] Hello [USER=518318]@pictureman36[/USER], Vitamin D deficiency symptoms and those of diabetes can overlap, so there's no way of knowing which is which until those are tackled. There are vitamin D supplements which should get you out of the deficient state though, and should those for some reason be problematic, just eat so much fatty fish it comes out of your ears. For me, the D meant osteomalachia and thus breaking my toes about three times a year besides a malformed spine, extreme fatigue, muscle pain, especially when cycling or walking up stairs in my upper thighs, and worsened depression. If those things let up some, you're doing alright with the D. Just make sure you get enough sun this summer too, -without burning to a crisp of course- and load up for the winter. It doesn't sound like much, but it is something you really, really want to get under control. Did your doc not prescribe cholecalciferol in some form or another? If not, get thee to the closest Holland & Barrett. You won't regret it. As for diabetes, that too can make you experience extreme fatigue for instance, or illnesses that just won't get better... So yes, you do need to learn how to shop and eat all over again. Sorry. Going low carb/high fat will also help tremendously with weight loss too though, so... Between getting your vitamin D back up to par and lowering your bloodsugars and weight, it will all be worth the hassle, I promise.

Also, convenience food... If you order a burger without the bread, it's usually a lot juicier without that tastless sponge it gets served with. ;) Meat, fish, poultry, above-ground/non-starchy vegetables, cheeses, full fat greek yoghurt, eggs etc, are perfectly fine. Stay away from anything starchy or sugary, like indeed cereal, bread, spuds, rice, corn, and most fruits (Berries, starfruit, tomato and avocado are fine). I hope you'll feel better soon!
