I'm a conservative hippy - I crave peace, love and serenity, but have fairly traditional values, with an open and accepting mind.

I'm a wife, a mom to three - four if you count my husband and a grandma (Mimi) to 5 - four boys and a girl. I work in Information Technology, most recently as a business process analyst, which means sitting at a desk all day long.

Beyond that, I'm a type 2 diabetic (since 2011) and I'd like to get off all diabetic medications because I have adverse reactions to every one I've tried so far. My goal is to use OMAD and the Keto diet to eliminate the need for meds, however I'm not very good at it. I eat super low to no carbs or even fast in the mornings and by the afternoon I have a headache and get shaky and feel sick and then I dive into carbs for dinner to feel better. It's a bad habit and one I need to break, so feel free to offer suggestions.
