Oh well done Didi, you're a star. Is it injections? (I don't know if insulin comes in any other form). Is it helping to have your mum there?
Well I saw the dietitian today and she was GREAT! Don't think she'd expected SO many questionsbut given I've had GD before, plus my FM for 8 years... it was more about fine-tuning. Interestingly she was more focussed on keeping my weight the same for long term Type 2 risk reduction, and telling me to eat low fat than they did last time. Last time the DE just said don't worry about the fats, concentrate on the sugars. So I had been hoping that with even more vigilance on my food, that'd keep me off insulin, but she said that honestly given I was on it last time, I'm highly likely to be again
so that's not great, given I totally don't want to be induced... but we'll see. I feel I've got a better understanding of what to eat, plus even she was groaning at the ridiculous amounts of food restrictions in our household, so that was kinda validating. Plus I found new McCain's Sweet Potato oven fries (new) so I tried them tonight and they weren't bad - we'll see how the BSL's are!
