[QUOTE="Tabbyjoolz, post: 1292712, member: 326717"] Welcome, Maggie/Magpie. You are not alone - we're a pretty friendly bunch on here. Ask as many questions as you need to. I also suffer from depression - have done for 15 years - and take medication. Once I got the diabetes diagnosis two months ago, I thought, "well, that's it then, I'm finished." But luckily I found this site and decided to try the low-carb, high fat diet. After all, the dietary advice the government had been peddling for years hadn't helped me lose weight, so I thought, what the hell, why not. Apart from losing over two stone from the LCHF diet and exercising I have, so far, not needed to take any meds for diabetes and, as a most brilliant bonus, I have experienced a considerable lightening of mood and a huge increase of energy. I still have the odd off-day, but I have considerably more good days than I have had for many years. So there is hope. Stick with us and you may see a massive improvement in your health. :-) [/QUOTE]
