[QUOTE="Smallbrit, post: 1773201, member: 456748"] Are you in the US? I lived in Texas and Arizona for 15 years but now live in Wales, and I have to admit, I don’t know what I’d do if I still lived there. I’d never be able avoid the mountains of tortilla chips and salsa/queso that come before every meal in a restaurant. Or stacks of pancakes and maple syrup for brunch. Oh, now I’m hungry ...! I am 41 and yes, it’s s really tough lifestyle to control diabetes and see a life ahead of really restricted foods. Just because of being in the UK and not the US Southwest, I don’t have the everyday temptations I used to have. I eat out far less often and portion sizes are significantly smaller. We don’t have tortilla chips and salsa as a matter of course, especially not constantly refilled baskets! I don’t actually have any advice, more just solidarity and a reminder that we all face different challenges. I haven’t ever been on medication, so can’t help there. I hope you find a way forward you are happy with. [/QUOTE]
