[QUOTE="Lilimp69, post: 1800215, member: 330046"] Lol! Had to reply to this! Know exactly what you mean! I have lost some weight but it has all disappeared from my rear - and it wasn’t huge to start with! I have been T2 for 6 years and still struggle with diet. I had no real support from gp as they started off telling me my bloods had to be between 4 and 7. This was really hard and I became quite depressed but no matter what I said regarding things like low carb, etc, they told me I couldn’t do it. This year, however, I went to a Diabetes UK day where I finally found doctors who happily recommended diet changes and I was finally able to ‘bully’ my gp into allowing me to find my own way with their monitoring. You have to push for help these days. I still have high readings in the morning which is annoying but they level out during the day. I found the nearest thing to my home made chips is using celeriac.
