As a diabetic I can tell you it takes MANY weeks even months to notice the effects of a change like this..you will feel better please do not give up. My endo told me once even with a few days running high it will take weeks to be well again. NO NOT eat any real sugar or white flour ...you'll be fine.

> I see a psychiatrist for therapy & med management once every 3 weeks. I take Celexa & Lamictal. One of my (many:)) issues is "disordered eating behavior." A very poor diet indeed. Mostly sugar eaten non-stop throughout the day. No regular meals. Technically I am only a small amount overweight butI have had elevated blood sugar consistently over the past 18 months and was sent to a registered dietician to deal with this and to "normalize my eating behaviors".

> So...the dietician was very nice. Good info, & I've been trying to follow her advice. More protein, healthy carbs., etc. Nothing too drastic though. I have not been hungry but I just feel totally slow and depressed. I thought I would feel better with "stabilized" blood sugar. This is so discouraging. I feel I am in slow motion & that my depression has worsened.
