Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Antje77" data-source="post: 2748913" data-attributes="member: 372207">A full English is likely fewer carbs than two pots of porridge, and much tastier in my book.No. Close to no carbs in the cream, not that much in strawberries either. Especially compared to porridge.On the other hand, you could try to get very good at dosing for porridge, it shouldn't be impossible. I mostly eat lowish carb but I love my high carb Belgian beers, so I took some time experimenting and finetuning my dosing for them. Do you have an insulin to carb ratio and count the carbs in your meals to decide on your dose?Would you like to share what exactly it is that makes living with diabetes so hard for you? Yes, I know it's a PITA, but it looks like you feel like the world is coming to an end with every hypo or hyper. Would you be able to look at those numbers from a different point of view? When I go high or low (and I had an afternoon of completely illogical lows today) I see it as an opportunity to think about what may have contributed so I can try a different approach next time, and I shrug it off with some mild cursing, not desperation.Are you getting any help with your mental health? Looks like you're struggling. I've dealt with depression, sometimes to a dangerous degree for a long time (not diabetes related), and it can really help to talk with a professional.Contacting your diabetes team would be a good first step, many teams work with a psychologist specialised in the struggles of T1, can't hurt to reach out!</blockquote>
