[QUOTE="IanS, post: 117350, member: 22487"] It can be a bit of a wrench at first. You can't eat (or drink) all of the things that you came to know and love). As you note, you have to think about every meal, critically examine the nutrition labelling of everything you buy, etc. etc. As anyone here will tell you (and I'm sure you have read), self testing BG levels is the key. Before too long, you will settle on foods that you can comfortably eat without your BG levels heading north. In fact there are plenty of tasty foods that can be eaten and once you get established into a diet that works, you then don't have to think about it. I can now put together a meal that doesn't impact my blood glucose level without really thinking about it and without anyone who doesn't know tumbling that I'm diabetic. It is a change to your life and it does take time for the fallout to settle. I was irritable at first as well, but now things have settled, I'm back to my old loveable self :shock: . The good news is: that with the new diet, I have lost (now) two and a half stone, look a lot better and feel a lot better. Tonight's meal: Spaghetti Bolognese (with not too much spaghetti).
