[QUOTE="azure, post: 940461, member: 39639"] Well, that's true in that you can't be rid of it at the moment, but there will be a cure one day. There have been some great advances in the last few years. And when there's a cure, you want to be as healthy as possible so you can receive it. Once you get things sorted, there isn't much effort at all. For example, if you were to have the same breakfast every day you would know how much carbs it had and how much insulin to use. Same with lunch - eat a sandwich each day and the carbs will be around the same. If you buy a sandwich, then the carbs will be on the pack. Most people tend to have the same few evening meals over and over so you'll soon learn the carbs for those. For example, when I have pasta, I don't have to count the carbs every time. I just weigh the cooked pasta and have the same weight each time. That way I know what the carbs are. Yes, you need to add any sauce, but, again, you'll find you tend to have the same few sauces. You say you can't get help for depression until you get a grip on the diabetes? If you're really down, perhaps you could try to change your doctor's mind about that. [/QUOTE]
