[QUOTE="woollygal, post: 2324020, member: 489059"] I agree with you there, I do get mad at diabetes, all this planning needed just to do a job away from home. Business is booming at the moment but because I get tired I’m trying not to work as much. If this was prior diagnosis I’d be working all Horus which isn’t great but financially would be blooming helpful especially after 4 months of mot working in lockdown etc, So in that sense yes I hate diabetes and the fact it intrudes, In terms of the food, I’m happy to eat it because I do feel better inside, less IBS symptoms etc, but I do just feel tired. im not sure why I don’t like the food. It seems if I eat anything I enjoy it basically means I shouldn’t be eating it because ethe reason I’m enjoying It is because it’s got something in it I shouldn’t have. A few weeks ago I tested a beef casserole mix, didn’t affect my sugars one bit. However over the next month I noticed I was really struggling with cravings and most of the time was giving in because I just couldn’t not eat sweets. Very much the way it was before I got diagnosed. I realised a couple weeks ago that the timing was the same so I stopped eating them and hey presto the cravings diminished quickly. I can only assume whatever was in the packet reacted like sweeteners do and worked in the background somehow. But I enjoyed the flavour. I don’t seem to feel hungry much which is good, but I seem to get symptoms. So I feel headachy or ratty or just weird, I sometimes feel hungry first thing but during the day I just don’t feel hungry. So I eat to make sure I can drive safely. I just don’t seem to have much of an appetite. So I don’t seem to enjoy food I can’t really put my finger in why I don’t like the food. over the summer I ate loads of salad and enjoyed them, through lockdown my sugars were rising a bit and my first thing in the mornings were getting up to 9s. Dr wasn’t concerned but I didn’t like them. I started getting symptoms of IBS. When it started getting colder is topped eating salad and my sugars dropped within a couple of days and they are back to normal now. So for whatever reason my body doesn’t like salad (although I do like beetroot). My breakfast is a fry up. lunch is carb one tortillas with rocket ham mayo and tomato. 2 of these. This used to last me and I’d have one tortilla between lessons. Now these aren’t enough and I need to have both at lunch and then I have chicken thigh and bacon and beef meatballs. Dinner is homemade (not mixes) chicken or beef casserole. I’m not cheating by having sweets, the only time I have is when I left gap between eating too long during work last week and I felt really ill so had some sweets to get where I needed, then that lasted all day so to get home (which was the lousy drive) I continued with the sweets as sugars swung. othweriwse I’m not cheating, sitting here writing I’m trying to think of what I don’t like but I really can’t think of it, other than it just doesn’t do anything, whether I’m missing sweets or a sweetie taste I don’t know. I just don’t enjoy food anymore. [/QUOTE]
