[QUOTE="AlexMac, post: 2470003, member: 537152"] Hey all! T1 diagnosed at the age of 10 (now 32) How do people get on this time of year? I find the temptations an emotional rollercoaster this time of year (suffering pretty badly atm) everyone around me is eating whatever they like whenever they like using christmas as an excuse.....i definitely love sugar - really wish i didnt.........any suggestions on how to stay mentally positive this time of year?? What helps you all? Do you divulge? What insulins are you on? Im on levemir 2x daily and novorapid before meal times. I find if i eat hardly anything my blood sugars are stable, which sucks because i have such a big appetite! I have the libre which has helped me alot this year! Godsend really. If i'm good i manage my blood sugars well but this time of year depresses me, where i think stuff it, im eating what i want when i want too, and then i suffer badly afterwards, and become mentally unstable, its not worth it in the long run but it tastes so good at the time! I suffer with depression and supress it as much as possible but it always seems to come out in big blows, and im sure many of you suffer too, Ive never been on forums before but thought i'd join and say hey and try and reach out to fellow diabetics as im sick of boring my friends with diabetic chat haha. Its nice knowing were not alone in this world. Anyway lovely to virtually meet you all :) stay safe this Christmas x [/QUOTE]
