[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1523387, member: 265172"] [USER=85197]@zand[/USER] I know exactly what you mean. In the past (not any more) I had some struggles with food and would go through phases of what I called 'eating the house'. I'd have an entire box of cereal, packets of biscuits, crisps and several bananas, and would swerve between sweet and savoury in what I felt was a neverending spiral. And the binges were always very carby (I would bolus random and large amounts of insulin to deal with that aspect of it - which would then cause a problem in itself). For two days after a cycle like this I would hurt in a really big way, all over, from the inside. A big binge would equal big pain. Even a hug, say, would be really painful!* Thankfully, three years have passed since I last used food in that way. I don't have this kind of behaviour any more. Then a while ago I made the decision to lower my carb intake to make my diabetes control easier, and I discovered the added bonus of not being even slightly and randomly achy particularly at the start of every single day, as I had been! I hadn't put these niggling pains down to anything other than 'ageing' or 'sleeping a bit funny', until it dawned on me that it coincided with reducing my carb intake. Might just be a happy coincidence, but given what I had discovered with my binge eating behaviour being proportionately linked to pain in the two days afterwards, that's just fine. Love Snapsy :) *For the record this was a period when hugs were in short supply and would have been helpful in helping to avoid this destructive pattern of behaviour in the first place! Snapsy now gets plenty of hugs. [/QUOTE]
