Well Matt, it isn't just sugar, it's
all those "white" foods. Pasta, potatoes, rice, bread . . . are we having fun yet?
Welcome to DF - nice to meet you. In all seriousness, you don't need to go hungry, but you do need to find a few workarounds to successfully wage war with escalating blood glucose.
Tell us more about yourself. You'll be meeting Richard soon I hope, and I think he'll tell you he hasn't been "gutted", despite having been type 1 for 64 years.
Thank you for joining us . . . come back often!
