[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2010032, member: 501623"] Yes, I am very grateful to be living at a time when we can access such forums over the internet. Also that there seems to be some new opinions on how to manage or reverse diabetes that might be working for people. I'm not taking anything for granted - in fact, I'm almost preparing myself for pre-diabetes postnatally because of my age (44 years old) because "later in life" that many Gestationally diabetic women end up with T2, could be just around the corner for me if it hits people in their 50s... I'm taking it pretty seriously. I know how much cake and chocolate I have eaten in my life :p Have you tried any of the recommendations on such sites as Diet Doctor (Have you seen any of Jason Fung or Sarah Hallberg's talks on Youtube)? It's hard to give up most carbs for life, but it sounds like those who manage to limit their carb intake to next to nothing at least get a change to stop their medications, which might feel like a victory in itself. It's a very emotional journey though. It's only been a couple of weeks for me and I was already dreaming about eating cake last night... I never dream about food normally.. ha ha . And I could even taste it when I woke up. It was like dreaming about an ex who I'd recently broken up with but was still in love with. How long it takes to move on from sweets and all of the rituals that go along with them, I don't know... But I guess if your health improves as you change your diet, it must make you stronger in other ways I guess. I'm preparing for that long road. I doubt I'm going to get away with returning to my old sweet friends without serious consequences... [/QUOTE]
