[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2158122, member: 506169"] Hi Miss_Piggywig, Is your DN supportive of you trying Low Carb? - If so you are very lucky because for most of us both GP and DN are very much for doubling down on the conventional Low Fat, High Carb garbage that made us T2 in the first place! Carbs and Sugars (and particularly in combination with fats) can be an addiction for certain people. There is no shame if you happen to be one of them. So if you feel irresistibly drawn to sweet food then I can only suggest 2 possible courses of action: Either you take the slowly cutting down approach which smokers do when using nicotine patches etc to reduce cigarette consumption. Or you take the 'cold turkey' approach that hard drug addicts and alcoholics use to get clean/sober. There are several no-carb sweeteners that you can use for the3 first approach. There are many delicious High Fat or High Protein foods that you can eat to distract your mind from sweet things if you decide to take the 2nd approach. Only you can possibly know yourself well enough to know which approach is more likely to work in your case. Some others have succeeded in curbing BG increase and weight gain while on Steroids, so it is possible, but we all know that it isn't easy since most people gain weight while on steroids. Best wishes, Ian [/QUOTE]
