[QUOTE="SirLance-alot, post: 2364296, member: 537817"] Thanks Goonergal :) Seriously, you think the diet is probably the key factor ? That's a shame - I was hoping to start reintroducing pasta to my world, in a couple of weeks :) I really miss pasta. And bread. And pies. And cake :-( Seriously though, I think the eyesight changes are rattling me the most. Also, my feet feel tingly all the time and tonight I noticed a painful red patch on the side of one foot, which is probably nothing but I've heard all the horror stories. Why would my eyesight deteriorate ONCE I have been diagnosed and started getting the sugars under control ? I can imagine sky-high glucose would affect various things... but surely not "normalised" sugars ? As regards the restricting calories thing - well, I'm really struggling to reconcile the idea of a keto diet - low carb, yes fine, but high fat (= high calories)... surely not ? It seems to boil down to ... carbs, or calories. And neither, apparently, is good for me, or maybe it is, depending on which particular diet you are following ?!. I'm losing weight on the Keto, but bacon and eggs cooked in butter, for breakfast, just doesn't feel right. Weight loss is another goal, since I also have Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, for which the only known credible cure is dramatic weight loss..... so I suppose I'm taking the bull by the horns with this diabetic diagnosis, and jumping in very deep ?
