[QUOTE="JenniferW, post: 974015, member: 191472"] I have a life-time of overeating and developed binge eating at one particularly difficult period of my life. I've had therapy of different sorts at various periods of my life so have a fair understanding of why I'm like I am, and I was pretty much at a stage of living with it, feeling there were worse afflictions. I'm now 68, and was very aware there was a lot worse around me. Then I got the T2 diagnosis. I've changed from what I thought was a good low GI wholefood diet to a low carb one, and the whole shock of the diagnosis (and the X-PERT course really drumming in how serious this is) has resulted in a certain amount of change. I've changed my shopping a lot, but even if there are only low carb foods in the house, I can -and do - still binge. I'm sure tiredness makes this worse. I occasionally overeat in daylight, when faced with too tempting opportunities, but I usually have the strength of will to walk away or make a sensible choice. Increasing my exercise has added to my tiredness. I have greater tiredness than I'm sure is 'normal', probably from the T2, and probably from various other stresses and strains in life. I can easily sleep 12 out of 24 hours, and 10 hours has always felt 'normal' for me. I've talked about this with the diabetic nurse at my GP's and I think she's now tested everything they can think of - with no answers. So for now, I'm sort of just left living with this. I was pleased to find this thread - for me, this is the biggest problem in my T2 management. [/QUOTE]
