Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

just been told I'm likely diabetic (I knew it was coming for years...18 years ago it started out with gestational diabetes when I had my first pregnancy and every test I have had over the years that blood sugar creeps up a little higher...) and am doing mostly low carb. It's the one way of eating I have been able to stick with the longest. My issue is that it's very expensive and as a single parent with a low income, I had been eating a lot of cheap filler foods over the last little while. But, I guess I do have to put some money and effort into my body, since it's the only one I have. My doctor has given me 3 months to get my blood sugar lower (even though it's borderline normal, not out of control bad) or I get to go on meds. No thanks. So low carb it is! My cholesterol isn't horrible, it's well within normal but my ratios could be better. I hope it improves with this new way of eating.
