[QUOTE="Rebecca24601, post: 421697, member: 58678"] I'm a newly diagnosed T1 (~9 months) and I wish I'd never found out about insulin manipulation. I used to struggle a lot with my eating habits, but I got better. When I was diagnosed, I got a real thrill out of readings that were in the right place, I guess it made me feel like I could control my body. But then I noticed that I can't seem to stop retaining weight and it's impossible to drop, and shortly after this revelation, I found out that not taking insulin would actually help me lose weight. I know exactly how you feel- it's a tug-of-war between your rational side, which warns of the consequences and complications, and this irrational niggling feeling that you can't quite place, which tells you that the grass could be greener. We both of us need to ignore our irrational sides. Later in life we can either look back and be grateful that we stayed strong and in control of our diabetes, or else be angry at our younger and more reckless selves. I've done my research, and it really isn't worth the complications and pain possible here. I found a really useful site which might be worth a look- [url=http://www.dieorbeatthis.org/]http://www.dieorbeatthis.org/[/url] - sounds depressing I know but there's loads of interesting stuff on there. One day at a time? Here we go.. xx [/QUOTE]
