[QUOTE="jjne, post: 2413881, member: 544975"] Many thanks for the kind words, it does make me feel a lot better about my situation. Regarding diet, my food intake has been pretty bland these last few weeks. Typically only have two "meals" in a day. Nothing until about mid-day when I will usually have something like a couple of slices of toast (wholemeal), with tuna in brine (one tin over the bread) and a couple of thin slices of mature cheddar over to add a bit of flavour. Usually a fruit over the course of the afternoon, usually apple. Main meal will generally consist of fresh or frozen meat; something along the lines of a few pieces of chicken (leg/wing), with a small amount of potato and vegetables (carrot/peas/tomatoes and the like). Drink will be plenty of water, a few cups of tea (with a dash of semi-skimmed milk and sweetener) and a couple of cans of sugar-free soda. I am aware that these probably aren't ideal but the carb count comes in well under 100g generally. To be honest I'm not entirely convinced the amount I'm eating is adequate, however I don't feel hungry. I used to eat a lot of junk. I have cut out the takeaway food, the sweets etc etc out completely. If I do have a snack (and I don't have any at all most days) it's microwave popcorn (buttered, unsalted, no sugar) as I've been advised this is one of the better ones. Issue being it is high-carb (though I think most of it is fibre) so I don't have it often. I definitely take on board the subject of T1/T2 and will be pressing this subject with the doc next time I see them. Regarding the false hypo; sounds like a good shout but would that develop and worsen over a few days? Sorry I didn't make that part clear. I will of course be attending any tests the health service books. [/QUOTE]
