new to this list
I am so glad to have found this particular list! I have been on many other LC forums, but have searched and searched for one that particularly deals with diabetes. I am still researching the LC WOE and I have been trying to go low carb since the day after Christmas. I must say that my lack of self control has been very eye opening and depressing, though! In the past, I have not gone on "diets", but I am sick and tired of taking as many meds as I do each day and I am searching for a way of cutting down on them. Since the docs are not interested in helping me, I decided to work on it myself. I currently take sixteen pills each day (some are 2 a days) for high blood pressure, diabetes, hypothyroidism, anemia, low potassium (diuretic induced) and GERD. And I am only 41 years old. My struggle is staying on the WOE, though, and I must say that I am failing miserably. I have eight kids to feed, so I am constantly around all the stuff that is a temptation to me. I am hoping that, as I read and research more, I will be so convinced of this WOE that I am nauseated by the thought of french fries and chocolate cake! In the meantime, I will trudge on one meal at a time.
