[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 192715, member: 19121"] Roxy is T2 so is not able to adjust her meds to cover sugary or high carb foods. But thats not to say she cant have a treat every now and then. :D Roxy , when I was newly diagnosed I used to think that as I was eating less food I would have a weekly treat of a meal out usually a curry as that is my favourite food. It would help keep me on the straight and narrow, diet wise. If I didnt go out I would pick another treat be it a chocolate éclair or a scoop of ice cream, anything that I could look forward to that would keep my from snacking. As for daily diet I just cut right back on the amount of food I was eating, I stated using a smaller plate, which I still use when at home, I cut right back on the carbs and increased the amount of salad and vegetables I ate but not by a huge amount. I cut out all the choc bars I had been eating and all other sweet treats and before long I found my palate changed and now I no longer crave the sweets that I used to. I think it helped me that I was terrified of diabetic complications and wanted to do everything I could to avoid them :D [/QUOTE]
