the ideal diet for someone with diabetes is an expensive one. low in carbs and high in protein. inconvenient when you can't really afford that, so you have to compromise. ideally, i'd also lose more weight. i'm down 40 kg but should lose another 20 kg, but i think that would require assistance. somebody to follow me up. which is also expensive. much like the therapy i should probably be receiving, from someone smarter than me. seeing as i'm the 85th percentile there, this is also expensive.
