[QUOTE="AnnaBanana, post: 284383, member: 45019"] While I was at my Dr's ordering more needles, I asked if I could see a dietitian. You have to be referred to see her, so I saw a nurse an hour later (That's good service!). She wasn't very confident in giving advice on changing diet to a diabetic, but is referring me to the dietitian and suggested a book which shows potion sizes of different foods and their weight / carb content. It'll be about 6 weeks until I can see the dietitian, so gives me time to make the changes which I feel are good, see how it works and get her opinion. Apparently there is a long waiting list for the carb counting course, but this book and reading up on it online will give me a good head start and will make me feel better about it which in turn will make me want to do it more! So plans for the rest of today, lots of unpacking (lifting weighty boxes, lots of moving and stretching), house work then a nice healthy, low fat / carb meal for tea :) When I went shopping this morning, I bought a couple grapefruits for my lunch, which to be honest I could live off!!
