[QUOTE="Dr Snoddy, post: 2451432, member: 112460"] Hi, I was diagnosed as Type 2 seven years ago and I can still remember the confusion and panic I felt particularly as a lot of the information I was given was conflicting. However, adjusting my diet to low carbohydrate high fat was a revelation even though it went against everything that I believed to be a healthy eating pattern is whole grains etc. Things I have found out by trial and error. I fare better if I do not have any carbohydrates at breakfast time. This means scramble eggs or a herb omelette or something similar or no breakfast at all sometimes. This means that I do not set off an insulin response for the rest of the day. Also I cook more meals at home as many cafe and restaurant meals contain more carbohydrate than I wish to eat. This does not mean that I don't want to socialise but I often check out menus in advance and decide which modifications to ask for. I also learned to prioritise my own health and put time and energy into devising and finding new recipes. After all mine is the body that I live in! Adjustment takes time and denial, rebellion, disbelief are all valid responses to an initial diagnosis. You will get there! [/QUOTE]
