Do you feel better now that you got that straightened out? Hope so and just out of curiosity, how is your diabetes doing with the vegetarian foods?

Not too sure if I feel better or not taking the B12 (I still really need to get a blood test done so they can really see the levels), I think if anything it might give me a little extra energy and I don't feel as lethargic, but taking it once a fortnight, I find that maybe by the end of the week or close to week 2, I start feeling tired again. So maybe I should up the dosage to 1 tablet a week, instead of 1 tablet every 2 weeks.
Diabetes is totally under control for sure, I honestly don't really check my blood sugars that often, but when I do they've always perfect.
From Fast Food To Vege, my diabetes would be MUCH more controlled anyway, since I am not eating **** anymore.
My diet used to be absolutely appalling as a teen / early twenties. I don't blame anyone but myself for the way I got out of shape, unfortunately at the time I was suffering from severe depression and anxiety for 10 years. So I would comfort eat a lot, and comfort foods to me were large fast food meals 3 times a day, soft drinks, and junk snacks in between.
These days I only ever drink water, maybe a cup of tea or coffee 3 times a week.
Food wise, I eat only twice a day.
Lunch would probably be a vegetarian hot dog, or a can of beans on toast, a salad sandwich or left over vegetarian dinner from the night before.
Dinner I always cook a vegetarian meal for my husband and I.
(Well, I still enjoy the occasional nibble of a packet of crisps once a fortnight, or maybe a small chocolate or a piece of fruit for a snack.)
Diet has definitely changed for the better!
