I just wanted to say thank you for everyone for sharing your experiences and advice. Glucose monitor is on the list for next week when I can afford it.
Still struggling with the food but I know that’s a mental problem. All I want is a chip butty! I know the advice above about changing bit by bit is the best but I can’t help feel guilty and want to go as low carb as possible straight away. Which in turn is making me not want to eat which makes it all worse! I know this will pass but it’s so hard pushing through.
I got my Tee2 meter free from spirit healthcare when I rang them. They know you’ll have to buy the testing strips from them so are usually happy to supply the meter without charge. It’s certainly worth a phone call.
Good luck, and as the others have said, don’t panic, it’ll be fine. I’m sure like many of us, you’ll begin to enjoy and thrive on lchf.
I find DietDoctor.com a great resource for recipes and information on blood sugar and related health problems. ( lots of veggie options in there too)
