[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2222770, member: 401801"] There's a candy shop in the Netherlands that goes to all sorts of markets. Their candy is advertised as suitable for diabetics in big, loud lettering. What it is, you ask? A lump of hardened HONEY with herbs. Anyone cay say it's suitable for diabetics, often going from the old guidelines, or just assuming it is... These days we know better, but they'll still tell you it's all good. I followed the dietician's advice, which wasn't far off from WW actually, which I'd tried a decade or so before, as a teen when it didn't do anything for me either because of the PCOS and resulting insulin resistance... Anyway, the last time I followed a low fat, high carb diet, prescribed by the hospital, it got me from obese to morbidly obese and diabetic. It's the carbs we can't handle, and it's the carbs they so love to shove down throats... You're on a lot of medication. Steroids will also up blood sugars (as would statins by the way), so that's another issue... Why are you on them? Low maintenance dose or higher ones? All in all it's not the weight you should be concerned about right now, but getting your blood sugars under control. Weight loss will follow automatically from there. Get the blood sugars back in line and you'll be able to quit a lot of what you're on, I'm sure. (with your doc's approval, of course!) [/QUOTE]
