[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2401008, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! Really sorry you are feeling like this, and have has so little support. It is a big shock to get news like this, and 'oick up a leaflet at reception' REALLY doesn't cut it! I am delighted that your doc gave you advice to cut carbs. As a type 2 reducing carbs is the biggest step you can take to reducing your blood glucose levels. And I agree with you that most of the cook books for T2s have far more carbs than my body can cope with. One of the best low carb recipe sources that I have ever found is the [URL="http://www.dietdoctor.com"]www.dietdoctor.com[/URL] website. It is jam packed with info on how to keep eating delicious, nutritious foods at carb levels that are both sustainable and fit your doc's suggestion. In fact, you can eat 3 x a day and keep under 25g of carbs for the whole day, using the dietdoc recipes and menus and shopping lists. Additionally, you do not have to go hungry (you can eat good satisfying low carb meals) including chocolate based foods (if that is your thing), bread type foods, hot drinks and desserts. But they all need to be different from the carb laden sugar fests that those types of food are usually. Again, lots of delicious recipes. Please understand, I am not encouraging you to live off cake! However, it can REALLY help to know that you are not going to be required to live off meat and salad for the rest of your days. There is a huge variety of low carb options, including a huge variety of delicious veg options. I will drop a few links below. Check out the recipes. You will see a lot of different ingredients, because they are low carb versions of 'normal foods'.
