[QUOTE="Captain Crunch, post: 2183618, member: 517474"] Apologies for being MIA for a few days but work things got in the way. I work in broadcast news and there was some major event in the UK on Thursday :). I'd like to thank everyone who's contributed. In particular [USER=306528]@Norfolkmell[/USER]'s post quoted here. I was disturbed to read from [USER=44950]@Alwyn[/USER] that on a high protein diet, the protein can be converted into glucose as I've been living off chicken or beef with broccoli or cauliflower for a week or so now. I also have the occasional handful of nuts, 0% fat yoghurt, or fruit. This is one of the major problems I'm having with researching T2D - conflicting opinions. I don't have a BG number as yet but I'm seeing my GP again next Friday and I'll get a figure from her. I have to say I don't feel as fatigued during the day as I did. I still get moments of light-headedness though. My stomach feels a bit 'tight' after I eat (veg portions too large perhaps), but I've not experienced any major digestive upsets. [/QUOTE]
