I can’t get an appointment with the dietician until next week, but I wanted to kind of get a ballpark start for the time being. I’m pretty positive about this, as my diet already seemed to follow most of the GD dietary guidelines I’ve looked at, some more than others (I eat healthy small meals through the day, I’m not real big on sugar/white carbs, and my proteins are all generally high quality/low fat); just needed a few modifications to morning protein/carb balance. And I think my case will be pretty easily controlled with diet and exercise, since, as I said, my results have all been very close fails.
So I know my mileage may vary, but something is better than nothing at the moment — does this look about right to anyone?
