So today 09/12/17 I have to start a month of carb free eating. Not as a choice but it's either this or the risk of acute pancreatitis, stroke or death. I recently had a blood test which showed up very high cholesterol and even higher triglycerides. How frustrating is this?? You can buy gluten free, sugar free, lactose free and all the other food that they can take ingredients out of but you can't buy carbohydrate free anything!? I will be writing a diary to document my feelings each day.
