[QUOTE="Trixy83, post: 834440, member: 162941"] Aww I'm single a mum to a little boy, he's 2 in 3 weeks. I also work 4 days and sometimes I just crawl into my bed as soon as doodles goes! It will also be your high blood wearing you down. Once you get things under control you'll find you have more energy (though probably not enough to keep up with a 2 year old haha) I struggled with meal times. I've always been very strict that he eats what I eat but recently I've been changing it because I still want him to get his carbs. It was really getting me down. The other night I felt so stupid as we had curry and he's sitting there eating away with rice and I had the curry with nothing else!! I thought I can't live like that so everything in moderation. He's 2 and as much as he eats like a pig he's still only small so last night I tried having a 2 year old size portion of pasta. Took the insulin to cover it and you know what, my blood survived!! So maybe it's not all about what you eat theres also an element of how much of it you eat. I don't want my boy growing up wondering why mummy can't have some of his birthday cake or why we don't go out for lunch anymore and have dessert.
