hi,
i have had type 1 diabetes for 2 years... my sugars have never been too bad... they have had very high moments but overall for first year was controlled. year 2 has been worse. and i know exactly why. i seem to have an addiction to sugar i can't get over. i know its the worst thing for a diabetic, but i can't stop eating it. i eat about 4/5 sweet things a day (chocolate bars/cake/biscuits). i dont know why i am doing it, maybe because i know its wrong and i am looking for the comfort in it. i feel really insecure i am putting on weight but cant stop myself. considering how much sugar i eat my sugar levels are not too bad, i take a lot of insulin to counteract. i wish i didnt take that much insulin, but the sugar gives me a satisfaction i can't seem to give up. i know this is probably a psychological problem but i dont know what to do/who to talk to get help?
