Newly diagnosed (I think)

Have an appointment tomorrow morning which I thought was to go through kidney and liver test results. Was only told time/date details and that more blood would be needed. Poking around on the NHS app I happened to click on 'appointment' and was horrified to see 'Diabetes review'. I had gone to the dotors (never actually saw a Dr.) with a pain in my side and was diagnosed with gastritis. I still have the pain so I went back and the nurse I saw took blood ,eventually after a great deal of poking and prodding - why do I hate needles? - and said it was for kidney and liver function. Hah!!!

I am panicking now as all the forbidden foods are what I eat and there is very little 'approved' food that I will allow near my mouth. I am a super taster, which means everything is greatly exaggerated - tastes and smells. I can't even be in the same room as a pot of yoghurt, for instance.

I have come to the conclusion that the only way foward is the very low cal. meal replacement thingy. What are my chances of getting the nurse to accept this?

I only eat the bad stuff - white bread, pasta and rice. Love my spuds and detest most veggies, particularly leafy greens.

I rather think I may have a fatty liver and probably pancreas, as the pain is nowhere my 'inflamed stomach lining', which could explain my horribly high whoohaa reading of 92mmol/mol. As I understand it, after much keyboard bashing this week, there is no fix for this except weight loss, so that is all I can think to do.
 
Low carb IS the best quickest way to achieve this, without any hunger pangs.
