I know all about emotional eating as this is probably what gave me diabetes in the first place. Being diagnosed with breast cancer in early 2013 and going through all that poisoning during treatment, with the associated loss of taste, I ate all my favourite comfort foods with little regard for proper nutrition. Chips smothered in salt, chocolate (which I don't normally eat much of), toast and more toast, and so on, not to mention Lucozade in the hope it would restore flagging energy levels. I despaired of myself, but carried on anyway, resulting in a big weight gain and raised blood pressure, and therefore more than likely my diabetes.
