Well, spoke to my diabetes nurse yesterday and I'm to start a basal insulin (lantus) in two weeks. Two weeks because the appointment lasts for an hour and I need to have my bloods done again beforehand... And the soonest they can be done is the 22nd. I have not yet told her of my sugar/carbs...

Have you gone 'cold turkey' on sweet things altogether? I think I'd find that too hard. Almost like a strict diet where because I can't have something, it'd make me want it all the more. I have replaced *actual* sugar with stevia (like to sweeten my soya etc milk in cereal), and no longer...

@lucylocket61 Thankyou so much for your kind words and support. Realising that I'm not only not alone in this, but that others understand and extend support is very comforting, and I'm truly truly thankful [emoji5]. [emoji847]

@elljaycee Gosh, I'm so sorry for the situation you find yourself in. Hopefully with a little more control in your sugary cravings, your bm's and therefore your ulcer will start to get better [emoji847] As a self-confessed lifelong addict, do you have any theories as to why we may have a...

Hi Kirstiek, I too drink sugar free, mostly dilute to taste stuff. I also find the evening/night the worst!! I wonder if we could/should start some sort of sugar addicts thread/support area? There's obvs more than just me!! Speaking for myself, I think we have an enormous amount of guilt and...

I will most definitely keep looking into the 'professional' help way. I've realised that I do need help, and if others can do it there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to. I really don't want complications, and I may have already done irreparable damage. I guess only time will tell. Trouble...

[emoji44] [emoji2962] Blimey. Hell. Did/do you just keep thinking of that guy when/if you wavered in your diet/meds control? I used to work in the NHS. I have seen sores, ulcers, gangrene & amputations. Yet for some reason, my brain won't allow the connection to me. I wonder if its left over...

Hi Sarah69, I think we should be friends! [emoji23] Oh my,.. Giant buttons [emoji15][emoji51][emoji7] I too have a failing for those, though currently it's raspberry mini rolls for me. Have a read and keep up with the advice ppl are posting here for us, it may help? It's really a fight with...

Oh thank the gods I'm not alone!! I was honestly thinking it was just me and feeling ever so ashamed of myself tbh. My mum gets my groceries for me 99% of the time, and while she will get what I ask her to she will also get sugary things if I ask her to. I did empty my cupboards of all the...

Please help! Kind words and not so kind are welcomed! I'm T2, and after a long time of my hba1c being 'slightly' raised,.. My most recent was 141. Yes, 141!! I havnt changed what I eat but its all gone a bit squiffy. However, I do have a major addiction to sugary things. I'm trying to...
