[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2135741, member: 41816"] [USER=24026]@borderter[/USER] Cut yourself some slack. I have often thought that knowing you can adjust insulin to cover carbs must make sticking to low carb much more difficult. If I had insulin to hand I am absolutely certain that I would be tempted to have 'just one' and we all know what happens then... I mean, that happens to me sometimes without insulin available! So don't worry. You are human. Just like the rest of us. I wrestled with reduced carbs for decades, falling off the wagon occasionally, then gradually clawing my way back. The last few years have been the easiest, but that doesn't make them a walk in the park. Now I have a test meter, I can see the damage I do to myself, there is a lot more info about LC available, and better food recipes and variety, plus this forum. I use them all as crutches. :D Another factor in my sticking to my current way of eating is that my body can no longer cope with certain foods the way it used to. Nowadays the consequences of 'just one' outweigh the short term pleasure of the eating. Anyway, just wanted to say that it is OK. You do what you can, when you can, and find motivation where you can.
