I've come to this conversation on binge eating rather late but have to say it's encouraging to visualise people all around the country trying, and sometimes failing, to keep on an even keel with their own brand of diabetes?
I am elderly and live alone and today a neighbour I do not know well gave me a bag of chocs. Not wanting to be impolite, I took them and thanked her. Shock horror, I've eaten them all in one day! No matter your age, you still feel guilty and disappointed in yourself for being so weak-willed. Generally, I find not buying sweet foods is the only way to resist temptation. I never buy ice cream to take home now, just have an occasional one out-of-doors. I have learnt through this forum some good ideas for snacks although some difficulty there too as my gallbladder has been removed so I easily eat more fat than I can digest. A fasting day, doing nothing, works wonders.
