So, in the grand scheme of things I'd like to think I've been doing pretty well. I stopped the meds, I'm often in the 5s in the morning. But - it's the relentless of diabetes that is killing me. Constantly checking labels, constantly thinking I can't eat that.
One of my main loves has always been food, eating it, cooking it, reading about it, entertaining. I feel that is gone. I had a Delicious magazine gift subscription every year, I've told my parents they shouldn't renew it.
I'm going out tomorrow night and I've checked the menu numerous times to see what I can eat. You can easily say 'oh you'll be ok, relax' but that's an easy routine and then you have high BGs.
Maybe I'm just having a bad week. I just would appreciate some advice from those I admire on the forum who just seem to manage it month after month. Do you have bad days too? Is it ok to feel low at times.
Thank you - this forum is amazing and every day I am thankful for the amazing support.
