Hey,
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about a month ago. I'm on Metformin x2 a day as well as x1 Gliclazide. When I was first diagnosed I managed to keep my blood sugar within the 7-9 ranges which I know is still a little high.
However I'm a stress eater! Anxious eater! Paranoid eater! And have also had an eating disorder for the last 10 years which has come back at the worse possible time... How does everyone cope during Covid to maintain a healthy eating?
I spoke to my doctor who suggested doing the 800 cal diet for the next 8 weeks in order to reduce my weight. Has anyone tried this? What was your result? I'm going to stay with my family for all of August and will treat it like a mini detox/weight loss vacation. I've already stopped drinking alcohol but my biggest fall is sugar cravings late at night!
Any advice would be great.
