[QUOTE="Biggles2, post: 1669002, member: 406880"] Hi [USER=468003]@Randi_B.[/USER] Welcome to the forum! You have definitely come to the right place to learn how to best manage this disease.:) If you have not done so already, buy a glucose meter and test, test, test. That way you will find out which foods you can eat and which ones to avoid. Test first thing in the morning (fasting), before meals, and 2 hours after the first bite. Many test before going to bed for the night as well. You can buy the meters and test strips on Amazon. The meter is an incredibly motivating tool! Without testing, you are essentially winging it and hoping for the best. Testing provides you with the data you need to really manage T2DM well. You will find which foods you can enjoy in abundance, and which ones to avoid. You will be able to enjoy going out for a meal again too! In fact, your friends will probably look at what you are eating in amazement and wonder how you lost weight!:) Here is a link to Jenny Ruhl's very informative page on testing or "eating to the meter": [URL]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/14045524.php[/URL] Like you and [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] I find that since I started LCHF and lost weight I too am very sensitive to the cold these days.:) [/QUOTE]
