[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2504054, member: 521715"] Get a meter. Test your results to the foods you like. It's far easier to cut them out (if necessary) once you've seen what spikes you. Yes, you could get medication free if you low carb enough, but you will always be diabetic and have to watch things. Some carbs may not hurt, but carb creep is real and persistent. As you get used to it your tastes will change. There are plenty of swaps for favourite foods. Just Google and put "keto" in front eg keto chips will bring up chips made from celeriac ( a weird yet wonderful vegetable). I've been out for a 3 course curry tonight : salmon tikka starter, mixed meats main swapped the rice for garlic spinach. Dessert at home was a homemade low carb brownie topped with a small 1 scoop portion real ice cream. I didn't feel hungry, or deprived, or jealous of others. I was pleased I know I didnt have the urge to overeat or be greedy or to get huge headaches and stomach aches I used to. Try not to look back on eating as it was. Look forward to eating food that feels right for your body, that you know isn't harmful to you in the longer term. You are likely to feel more energy, to sleep better and spend less time peeing so often. Keep learning, it is a huge mindset change but so very worth it [/QUOTE]
