[QUOTE="SueJB, post: 1812225, member: 425990"] Hi and a hug, I well remember how I felt 10months ago, confused, angry and overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by all the information and especially the abbreviations everyone used here and just being worried that I was going to die in my sleep. I'm a real plonker at times but don't worry, it's not necessary, I'm still here and so are a lot of really really understanding and helpful people. I've learnt more here than from the nurses or the consultants and you do get your head around it It's up to you whose advice you follow but 170g seems like a lot to me and if I'd followed the advice, it would have meant my changing my eating habits to eat more carbs.................. so I didn't. Despite this, I did put on weight 8k but I've stopped gaining now and feel I've got more of a handle on diabetes and diet. My advice is eat moderately and carb count. I kept a food diary from the start but didn't write down the number of carbs I was eating until 2 months in but I was counting and doing bolus injections. Looking back at the diary, I can see that my diet has changed and I'm now eating far fewer carbs and rarely bolus. I think it's a matter of taking little steps and not thinking you can do everything at once and [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] gives great advice and [USER=182669]@slip[/USER] too and they've been here way longer than me. You can do it, watch your machine and count. Another hug to end [/QUOTE]
