[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2024976, member: 372717"] 1) Wow, what a piece of work (your bf). I think you're better off without him. 2) Your body doesn't process carbs well, just like some people are gluten intolerant. A side effect of the carb intolerance is weight gain, because your body tries to throw extra insulin at the problem. Would you tell someone who's gluten intolerant that they are disgusting and use it as a reason for a break up? 3) I'm a T1, so maybe not the best judge, but you probably don't need to go down to absolutely zero carbs, just reducing them significantly should do the job. 4) 12 as a spot check of glucose is in diabetic territory but not desperately high (some people get diagnosed with blood sugars in high 20s), so it's possible that you've been diagnosed relatively early in the process and wouldn't have had any symptoms yet. Try to be kind to yourself, and don't assume that all ailments are caused by your diabetes. As for mood swings, being metabolically out of balance probably doesn't help but having had all sorts of blood sugar levels over 49 years of T1 diabetes, I can't say I've particularly noticed high blood sugar as a factor. (The bf sounds like a better reason). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
