[QUOTE="Wocko, post: 350241, member: 59546"] I'd be more worried if you weren't panicking to be honest. It's a huge life change and so it is understandable that you feel this way. After 22 years of diabetes I still get frustrated despite not knowing a life without it. I have a friend who is a Type 2 diabetic and told me about a diet by a nutritionist called Patrick Holford called the GL diet. My friend went on it for weight loss but it works on carb and protein combinations that have a slow impact on sugar levels. He went from 3 Metformin tablets to none at all following this so called diet (which allows you to eat a lot of different things). As a Type 1 I went on it to regulate my sugars rather then to lose weight as despite altering insulin ratios, injecting 10 times a day and testing 7 times every day nothing was working for me until I tried this out. My sugars went from wild fluctuations from 2.0 to HI without anything in range to a nice steady target range throughout the day. I am usdually quite sceptical with fad diets and nonsense like that but this actually really worked for me. You can pick up his Low GL Diet cookbooks via his website or in most bookshops now. A chromium capsule every morning also aided me in steadying rapid swings from low to high. If you're interested give it a try. I hope it works as well for you as it has for me and my friend. I tried everything else imaginable and this was the only thing that is now part of my lifestyle as it suits my sugar levels. [/QUOTE]
