[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 1936037, member: 493719"] Hi [USER=494956]@Beccahn[/USER]. Yep, it is a shocker, ain't it. For me it was almost a month of trying to get my head around what had just happened, before i finally started to settle in my mind, that it was not the end of everything, just the beginning of a new direction on my lifes journey.. I think the only silver lining in finding out.... IS that you can now begin to do something about it, and you've made a great start getting the Meter. Btw, Congratulations on finding this forum, i have found it an amazing source of info, from those who have tried x,y,z and who then honestly pass on the good, and warn about the not so good, and where you'll find links to many sites, that can set out in a manner even i can understand, exactly what is happening AND ways to reduce/manage our condition. I can't match everybody' else's comments and advise on here, as i too am learning from them and slowly coming to terms with the fact this isn't a diet, as i always considered one to be, but a genuine lifestyle change, ( which has taken a bit of getting used to, if i am honest, ) but the up side, is my health and numbers have improved, the starting conditions i found myself in most days have eased considerably, all thanks to all the members offering up all that lovely advice. I would however, offer the fact that Food has now begun to once again seem interesting and i no longer am in the dark about WHAT to eat and what are BETTER choices of food. To that end i found the diet doctors,[URL='https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb'] infographics[/URL] on a variety of foods, very help and illuminating.in making better choices.(scroll down beyond what to eat and drink, and check the 'Visual Low Carb Guide' .. THAT seeped into my stupid brain far more then all the words i had read.) I wish you well on your journey, you've had a hell of a shock, but you seem to have made a good start in picking yourself up, and dusting yourself off, judging by that original post, there's steel inside us all we never knew existed, long may it continue. I started out lost and alone, as i guess we all do, but here, i found a considerate, caring community, offering real world advice, when it's most needed, And when the storm is at it's highest, and we seem miles from safety, these guys reeled me in,gave me hope and showed me that storms don't last forever, and the Sun still shines down on us. i'm sure you'll find the same.. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
