[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 597732, member: 100904"] Thank you [USER=107709]@Debmcgee[/USER] . The thing is, the binge was totally unexpected, and it lasted a month. Started off as a small experiment, to see what would spike my blood glucose, then when nothing did I just kept adding more and more high sugar foods to push limits. I regard myself as very fortunate I did not do any damage, because these were massive amounts of sugar. You are right that food can be used as a form of self harm, that is why We need to be careful how we respond to posts as we never know who is vulnerable to this. Please consider that with pre-diabetes you can still avoid the full nasty T2. You have been let down by medical practitioners if they have left you to get on with it. There is so much information and misinformation to confuse us. The fact that carbs make you sleep is worrying. That is how I was before diagnosis. I see carbs as poison now. I know they will do me harm. I too, in the first instance, wanted a diet to sort my diabetes, weight loss was secondary. However, some people are never satisfied. Although very grateful and relieved to have seemingly normal blood glucose readings, I am still heavier than many people have reported they were at diagnosis. My fear is that as I get older (I am racing towards 60) diabetic levels will return along with all of the complications. I have seen that with my father, and don't want to do that to my kids. It was a decline of over 25 years, where he needed a lot of care. It was not living, it was existing. Thank you [USER=107709]@Debmcgee[/USER] for believing I can do it. Please have that belief in yourself too. I repeat your words, "do what works"! You know that is not carbs for you. Keep on reading and asking questions and getting the support you need on forum. Be well Pipp [/QUOTE]
