Just had a mini meltdown

Jumped on the scales and I'm now down to 45.2kg, my BMI is 16.5, feeling like I'm wasting away! x

Well you know what needs to be done Kaylz so you're going to have to fight the fear and start increasing the scran!

Oh to have the problem of losing weight 🙄 However I know it's not funny for you

 

[Pumper_Sue]

Simple solution is to eat food isn't it? Increase your fat and protein as well as carbs.

You need a wine and cheese fest, I'll bring the wine if you provide the cheese board (((hugs)))

I have Edam and Extra Mature in the fridge, I don't drink wine though so you can keep that to yourself! Haha x

Start by introducing some cheese and biscuits with your coffee breaks 🙂

What kind of things would you suggest? X

What do you like eating? What are you currently eating? Eat that, but have about 20% more of it. Extra spoonful of everything

Alternatively (or do both) add a biscuit with each cup of tea. Easy enough to bolus for with a bit of practice.

 

[AJLang]

Eating more carbs won't change your ratios. I'm really sorry if I appear blunt because I really do understand anxiety, but if you don't increase your carbs, protein and fats now the risk of a few higher BG levels is going to be the least of your problems. Please tell us what you are going to do both this evening and the new few days to increase your calorie intake. Cheese on toast or cheese with celery or just cheese? Pate on toast or on biscuits? Butter with your vegetables? A snack of boiled eggs with mayonnaise? A packet of peanuts? Mushroom and cheese omelette in addition to your normal breakfast? Other ideas?

 

[AJLang]

As more carbs won't change your ratios you don't need to sort your basal first. Just the posts you've had so far are way more than 100 years of collective diabetes experience and we're all here alive, kicking and screaming!

 

[Kaylz]

At the moment I'm having 2 slices of toast with 2 slices edam for breakfast, lunch is a roll with a slice of roast beef or something, tomorrow will be an egg usually either with a lotus biscuit or the past week a 100g serving of greek yoghurt and dinner is a bit of meat or fish on a Saturday either with 2 boiled potatoes or 2 small Yorkshire pudding a serving of veg, a lotus biscuit or 2 and if 1 a square lindt 90% x

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

With all due respect Kaylz you need to tackle your fears hun, and I know that you know that. It's a shame you're waiting on that, can you go see your GP in the meantime to see if you can get access through them? I'm sorry that your hospital are keeping you waiting, when you need psychological help now to tackle this and to keep you healthy, both physically and mentally.

 

[Copepod]

Start with biscuits / toast and the cheese from your fridge. Why complicate things?!?

 

[khskel]

Small packet of crisps/mini cheddars or similar with your lunch?

Theres a waiting list apparently and I may be on it some time before I get my first appointment will discuss with the consultant next month though as he may be able to push it through quicker, I'm hoping anyway! x

 

[Pumper_Sue]

You can eat fish, cheese cream, eggs, plenty of veg meat.

To put things very bluntly the rate you are going you are going to end up 6 feet under. There are many millions of children around the world starving to death due to no fault of their own i.e. no food available to them be thankful you have the food so at least eat the s*dding stuff and be thankful for it.

In the meantime please eat more of whatever you are already eating especially the high calorie stuff!

 

[New-journey]

Not much to add as it has all been said but want to add my support. Please know it is safe to eat more right now, you don't need to restrict the chocolate, the cheese or the biscuits. You are not eating enough to stay healthy, and priority must be to eat more and experiment with the dosage of insulin. Sometimes it is useful to look at your worst fear and then see how unlikely that will be.
