Hi
@Lilliepop
I am totally with you on this as the types of food you say you are intolerant to, I am.
But I do eat eggs, loads of them.
I also eat what makes me feel well and that is usually meat, other types of protein, salad veg. You can eat other veg but not the starchy vegetables like spuds or more than a little carrots, Swede, turnips.
You need to think to yourself, if I eat what makes me feel awful, then ill eat the carbs.
If on the other hand, you want to feel really good, full of energy and your health improves greatly, then only you have that option.
It is down to you!
I had to make that decision, during my hypo hell, it was the best decision of my life, other than the wife!
If I want to look after myself, my wife, and be fitter and healthier than I've been for decades. I had to make that important decision.
I had my family, friends, and my endocrinologist to support me. He saved my life, I was on the slippery slope, he told me, that keeping control of my blood glucose levels was the most important thing for my future life.
With the knowledge I gained on this forum, by eating to my meter and getting my life back. I am now working full time and a really busy life, going to be around, to see my grandkids hopefully have my great grandkids!
You find out what you can eat by experimenting on things you like and what you know, doesn't make you ill.
I'm on fast till eleven, then a full English breakfast before work.
Then a small piece of fruit, mid afternoon, then ham salad for tea.
Then my nightly treat of full fat Greek yogurt, with strawberries and 85% chocolate.
The low carb forum is full of ideas and recipes, you need to learn how to look after you first before you can't look after anyone else.
Hope this helps.
