[QUOTE="Lally123, post: 1773191, member: 379571"] Ok firstly I kind of know where you're coming from. I spent the first week hesitant to eat anything, then looked on here and did low carb for a month or so but couldn't stick to it, it was awful. The thought of eating bacon and eggs turns my stomach even now over a year later and it did nothing to help my levels anyway. Why set yourself up for failure? At least you're honest enough to admit you can't do it. I also take another tablet which helps my body make a bit more insulin and that works well for me. I looked at what I was eating and made little tweaks like swapping the bread I eat for one of the lowest carb but proper bread I could find, making sure that the carbs on my plate were a smaller percentage of the plate than they were before. I never say to myself I can't have that I'm diabetic but I do make sure that I try to pick lower carb options of the foods I enjoy. I get that you don't cook so that makes things more difficult but when you eat out, which you probably do much more than me, go out, enjoy yourself but just go easy on the carbs and reduce your portion size. Try to pick up the exercise again, even if only a small amount initially, because that will help too. If you can get your glucose levels down a little, you will begin to feel a little better. And it could have a snowball effect if you keep On, making changes, exercising more, reducing levels, reducing weight and just feeling a bit more like you. I know it's easy to say but we've all been where you are now. It sucks. It really sucks and not a day goes by where I don't wish I.didnt have diabetes. But I owe it to myself to.stay as healthy as I can, I like feeling healthy and full of energy and keep my sugar levels down.
