Alright, I would have just tagged on Shak's thread, but mine is a little different...
Right about the time we went to Vegas, my body started acting all weird. Waking up 5-6 times a night to piss, always drinking water and lots of it, and in general feeling pretty shitty. Got back from Vegas and went to see my doctor and had some tests done, and had the worst (almost) confirmed; I am now a diabetic. Technically type 1 as my A1C level is 10.4, but the doctor says I am type 2 as she believes it can easily be controlled with meds, diet, and exercise. I dove in with both feet and got my blood glucose down from a high of 24.5 down to a solid 5.5-6.5 every day, so that's good. I am also down about 15-16lbs in the 2 weeks since I got diagnosed, so again, more good news.
But, I need to find new foods to eat, things that are low carb, low sugar. But that is frigging hard to do. I have been checking nutrition labels like a hawk now, and finding foods with low grams of carbs and or sugar is damn near impossible...
Anyone have any advice?
