HI everyone
My previous post spoke about how I went to the diabetes foundation last week and they basically told me to eat quite a high carb diet AND keep my BSLs under control...(impossible for me)
So on Monday I went to my GP and she basically looked through my food diary and listened when I told her about the Diabetes assoc advice. She actually said that MANY of her patients have to resort to low carb diets ....
WE discussed several low carb diets but I can't do Atkins due to the fat content as I have a complication with a super high triglyceride level....So now I'm on quite a restricted diet with low carb veg, lean meat and some low fat cheese...
Sounds pretty bland but last night I was able to tolerate an orange with dinner (unheard of before) and my bsls were only 7.3 2 hours afterwards...Which is incredibly low for me. and this morning my fasting was 8.1 which is the lowest it's ever been.... I mean these are still higher than where we want them but I finally found a little something thats working....YAY
So today I feel like I'm in a good place... I seem to have a sensible GP and I seem to have some food I can eat
I go back to see her in 3 weeks so we'll see how things go 
Have a great day everyone!
