Hi all, im Christina!
I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in december of last year. I have always been on the larger side but put on a lot of weight and was not looking after myself after being off work with depression and anxiety. My anti depressants caused me to be constantly hungry for the last few years and with little motivation i was not eating the right foods or doing any exercise.
I am now on new medication for my mental health and feel much better plus i am on slow release metformin. I have had several appointments with a dietician over the last 6 weeks and have lost around 6kg so far with a low carb diet.
However i only have one appointment left in 6 weeks and then i’m on my own. As a vegetarian i’m struggling with finding new recipe ideas as everything seems to be catered for the meat eaters of the world.
Here to look for advice and inspiration. Also i wondered if i should be testing myself at all? i’ve only had one blood test so far and do not remember what any of my levels were at.
Thanks 🙂
