Hello there
I was only diagnosed recently and have had a mammoth crash course in managing my diabetes through LC diet and exercise. All has been going remarkably well.
However during the night on Sat/Sun morning I had sickness and diaorrhea pretty bad (think it was a revenge by seafood out on Sat evening). Good news was by the time I was up and about all was well and I ate my new normal diet. Then in the early hours of this morning the diarrhea returned and won't go away. My BS level is currently 6.0 (normal fasting level is around 5) which reading here can get elevated when your body has to fight other things. I haven't been able to face any LC foods. When I was ill pre-db diagnosis I would have things like porridge, or heinz soups, baked beans or toast. I do have LC bread but not saying "eat me" in the same way as real bread. And don't have any of the other stuff on what was my fall back list. Don't have the energy to make a LC chicken soup.
So would appreciate some food ideas to get my stomach settled. Don't have much of an appetitie but experience is that a little food gets me on the mend and is needed to give me some energy. Thanks in advance. M
