[QUOTE="Louise2016, post: 1587903, member: 322106"] I suffered with eating problems myself after diagnosis, I had counselling which helped although for me it turned out I had a rare condition called Addison's disease undiagnosed too which was causing a lot of the anxiety. I'm not suggesting you have that jut explaining I was complicated lol. Try you're best to limit the hypos as the adrenaline you produce increases the stress. Don't worry about what foods you're eating at this stage, go for things you like most and try several smaller meals a day which puts less stress on the "main" meal. That will mean some advice from your nurses on the insulin. There are also many options for hypo cures from glucose tablets, fruit juice or jelly babies to name just a few, I find when anxious a liquid is easier. Where possible don't keep weighing yourself or counting the daily carbs just try your best. You can do this. It's all new and scary but you're not alone. [/QUOTE]
