Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndBreathe" data-source="post: 2622455" data-attributes="member: 88961">Hi Martin, sorry to hear you and your wife are going through it a bit at the moment.  hopefully we can help a bit, to get you guys going.As [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] says, I'm a small, slight person.  I was diagnosed in 2013, but have maintained my blood sugars in the non-diabetic range since.Post-diagnosis, in sorting out my ammended eating I lost a bit of weight, but that amounted to my love handles melting away.  I was Ok with that, but I can understand if your wife is already on the light side, that wouldn't be a desirable outcome.You mention your wife eats healthily.  I wonder if you could describe how that pans out as a day's eating and drinking?  The reason I ask is that I, and many others, discovered that healthy eating and healthy eating for those with blood sugar challenges are not necessarily the same.Personally, I found it was the starchy stuff that wasn't helping me out, so I cut those back. In return for cutting back the carbs, it is important to tweak up the natural fats we eat.  That's what helps balance out the management of blood sugars and maintain the bathroom scales in a good place.Let's not forget, Rome wasn't built in a day, and we're looking to modify things a bit, to maintain good quality of life over a long time, so better to move forward steadily than make sweeping changes and not be able to sustain them.</blockquote>
