[QUOTE="T2 Woman, post: 2474104, member: 551682"] Hi Ianf0ster, Sorry to take so long in replying and thanks for your knowledgeable input. I have indeed read the “nutritional thingy” I think I may have been in denial slightly about how many carbs I can safely eat judging by what’s on there and the low carb experiences on this post of other members. Knowing my local GP’s set up I highly doubt that I will get a specialist in diabetes with the practice nurse appointment I am going for so I’m going to try to keep reducing the carbs and as I go keep an eye on the calories count as I try to lose weight too. Hopefully I will lose purely with these low carb choices and not have to watch my fat too much when I up it. I have seen these meters you say recommended too and I’m going to have a read of the reviews to decide which one is best for me. I guess the sooner I get my hands on one the better regards the testing. I must admit I am not a fan of all the finger pricking I’m going to have to do but I’m hardcore and I’ll embrace it for my own good. I certainly do not want to end up further down the line having to inject insulin etc if it’s within my control. It’s the adjustment I’m having to make which I’m finding hardest but I will do whatever it takes although I’m aware it’s gonna be a rough ride. I have a husband and 2 adult children at home who loved my home cooking and baking so it’s going to be harder to have different meals from all of them. I just have to accept that my eating habits have to change permanently and there’s no going back. [/QUOTE]
