Always eating sweet stuff?

No not at all. Could it be because I'm in the honeymoon period?

Definitely maybe.. There will come a time when the honeymoon will fade away.
Do you have any issues regarding cigarettes & alcohol?
 
There are a whole ton of low carb recipes online. For starters look up fathead pizza, really nice and minimal carbs. Not difficult to make either.

Thanks so much for that tip, I have just looked it up. Pizza is my favourite food! I will definitely give this recipe a go.
 
No I don't eat unhealthy all the time. I just can't help eating that stuff when it tastes so good If I didn't I have diabetes I could probably get away with it, which makes it so hard.

Some might say, there is no "magic pie". You may start to wonder when you hit the "wall" where did it all go wrong, as the honeymoon is actually over. A bell will ring when your diabetes is "full on", you may acquiesce to a moderate lower carb diet...

You are fine with that, as long as your blood sugar is under control, and this is probably only a phase in your life. The most important thing is your blood sugar, and that's good. And if you put on a bit of weight, obviously that's OK for you right now.

After that, for anybody's long-term health it is necessary to think about your consumption of vitamins, mineral and trace elements. Sweet stuff typically has very little in the way of those, so you could expand your repertoire a bit! Eat more burgers - for the protein. Milkshakes also contain protein, as does ice-cream. But for vitamins and minerals and trace elements, it would be good if you could throw in a salad every day.

Also, you will put on weight if you are consuming more calories than your daily needs, but if you are not doing some STRENUOUS exercise (e.g. Lifting heavy weights), you may only put on fat. Muscle is better! Also, muscle means you can eat even more! And it reduces insulin resistance dramatically. Whereas high-fat meals raise your insulin resistance for hours, and unpredictably, making it hard to judge doses, even requiring correction doses hours after eating.

So, I say, you work there. Live with it. Just make some minor changes with benefits for you. You will feel better for it. Later, if you move on from that job, you can improve your diet even more.
