So, very recently I was diagnosed as having diabetes (no medication yet) , which means everybody and their dog stabbing me with needles and pointing out that I am overweight and have "high bmi" , and giving all kinds of eating 'advice' of varying quality.
Half the advice is drivel, the other half conflicts, much of it assumes i have been mainlining white flour pies and kebabs up until now, and I am convinced whatever I do will be the wrong thing to do and that my blood sugar will remain far too high (as will cholesterol with terrible low iron levels) regardless of what I eat or drink.
For all I know the sugar level is too high because of eating way more fruit than the average person, for example.
I feel rather despondent and like all effort will ultimately be counter productive or at best futile.
