I know this might be a bit of a rant, but any advice is welcome.
I was diagnosed end of January, and had my first chat with the nurse today. That felt condescending or irrelevant and in general of no real help, the book recommended will I feel be of zero use, and the information leaflet says what I suspected low carb diet being vegetarian is challenging, and the 130g or less while eating enough calories to be a safe weight loss level i.e. 1,600 to 2,000 for just under 4kg loss to bring my BMI down, and then I'll need more.
Today I'm managed the carbs but nowhere near the calories, and I'm left feeling hungry. I can't see a way to I feel like throwing all the low carb stuff in the bin, reducing my carbs a bit and upping my activity levels that will be far easier and from what I'm seeing has a far better impact on my levels.
Just to add to the complications I already have hypertension and hyperuricemia so need to avoid some foods anyway due to medication.
