[QUOTE="SJP23, post: 2687764, member: 584038"] Hi Kathy, Fingers crossed the headaches subside. I have heard coffee withdrawal can do this. Yes, I eat sugar. In the couple of months since my diagnosis ( I'm still on the journey of figuring it out) these are some of the helpful things I've found out about sugar ( it's worth reading earlier posts from members in this thread): Sugar treats that aren't the white refined sugar. I'm experimenting ( some great and some awful!) with recipes. Sweet potato cacao brownies, cacao protein balls for example. I'm training myself to like 90 and 100 per cent chocolate and am almost there! I'm realising there's a whole world of treats still available. Just different ones. Less sugar generally in savoury stuff. Eg my favourite Bosh veg chilli. Just the soy sauce now, not the maple syrup, dark choc and tomato puree. Trying to eat more green carbs not starchy carbs. Food ordering ( member in this thread suggested this) works. Starches last on the plate and smallest quantity compared to veg, protein, fat. Fruit n dark choccie end of the meal. Frustratingly, this is only half the picture. As after a few days or all of my working week of planned menu, batch cooking etc I fall off the wagon back into sugar binging. The headaches are horrid and I feel AWFUL. It's like an addiction! But I know I can get there and I will. A member suggested a Libre sugar monitor and I'm going to use them again. I was reducing the Himalayan mountain peaks and valleys to UK hill ranges by close monitoring . This could help you work out what works for you? Your sugar tolerance may be so different to mine so I expect some on here wouldn't eat the above? I think mine is worlds away from old me bouncing from one hypo to another on my carb monster diet. Yet maybe I will have to review the sugars I still consume. What I already know is that having days without hypos is utterly life changing and feels beyond GREAT! It takes time to adjust. Good luck with your journey. Let us know how you're getting on? [/QUOTE]
