Hi all, Looking for some help and support from folks that have had similar experiences. I am 59 and have had T2 diagnosis for over 2 years but probably undiagnosed for a long time before this. I am on metformin which is wrecking havoc with my digestion. I have had to have it increased recently but changed to slow release .(not much difference) I have tried 16/8 intermittent Fasting High Fat high protein low carb and it has been good for a short while but I keep going back to bad carb habits. Once I have bad carbs (white pasta, bread crips etc) its all I want Result: Huge cravings come back so i stop the IF and back to the vicious circle. I also work shifts of 8 10 and 12 hours (nights evenings and days) and these can be very stressful. Not to mention the need to eat meals at crazy times. It is really difficult to have set mealtimes on shift as you need to react to emergencies at any time. Not a great mix for managing T2. Any tips to help above, would be really appreciated.
Cheers
Terri
