[QUOTE="DawnPhenomenon, post: 939417, member: 205699"] Thank you! I have reduced my BG levels and my liver function has improved to normal but it's hard. I try to walk on waking and I do hard physical work for many hours a day. I slipped up this week and bought mint cremes (I don't know why I did it) and although I've had half a dozen I'm going to bed on a BG level of 5.5 but by the morning I know I'll be 6.9 - 8.3. I catch it happening sometimes, it'll be around 5 and over the course of half an hour or so I can see it rise. I guess I'm lucky as this happens around 7 a.m. I know I have an eating disorder, have always had an eating disorder. I had counselling last year in an attempt to deal with it (I hadn't been told that I was borderline then but I knew it was likely to happen). I think it's really hard to understand the draw of food to a person who uses it as a drug. Some of the comments on this site are a little harsh. Some people battle with food - really it's a battle. Food isn't just food, it's a cheap and readily available 'drug'. It gets people like me through the next few hours, through the day. I don't want diabetes but giving up my 'drug' is proving very difficult. [/QUOTE]
