The nutritionist did the same to me, told me I wasn't eating enough carbs wanted me to eat low fat, high carbs.

The doctor said I needed to exercise an hour a day just to maintain -- finally said I could cut my carbs down as long as I didn't have headaches, to raise carbs if I did.

I did initially lose weight when I found out I was diabetic, quit eating and ran like a mad woman, but then when I went on meds it halted everything dead in its tracks.

But I am determined to get this under control --my brother has diabetes also and he is really having a time with his health and I keep trying to help him eat healthier, so maybe if he can see me doing well it would encourage him to do likewise.

Life is an adventure.
