Hahaha...i did look at other options but thought 'sweetness', 'enjoyment', 'pleasure' were maybe not appropriate!I guess the only reason he has @n1ck as a username is that chocoholic is in use already in at least 3 variants

I've just been reminded of something that really annoys me, it's the unpredictability, possibly only affecting type IIs, possibly only me.
I've kept my BG between 5 and 7 for a couple of months at least. For the last three days my BG has been all over the place. You'd think that I was eating bars of chocolate every mealtime, rather than quite a lot of vegetables, the same vegetables I always eat. This morning is looking as though it's all going pear shaped again. I had 2 fried eggs and a microwaved breakfast mushroom. Followed by a Cappucino, 7.5 gms carb, something that I have had before without it causing any movement in my BG at all. I can't even explain the gradual increase after midnight last night, what I ate last night at 7pm is no different to many weekday nights.

That is strangerooney, that must be the most annoying thing, the inconsistency in doing something and the results are not what we want... does the sugar eventually go back down?
The body's behaviour certainly doesn't seem to be constant, although the 3 c-pep tests I've had showed no change, the 3 insulin resistance tests have been different, the second one being higher (more resistant) than the first and third, so I know resistance can change.
My BG started to rise at 5am, when I woke up, very much like dawn phenomena, it's risen again since I had 2 eggs, one tomato and one big mushroom. I frequently have no breakfast but as I won't get time for lunch today (who says retirement gives you spare time LOL), breakfast is a bit more essential.
For me, it's when x units of insulin has a totally predictable and expected effect one day, and then the next day, the same amount will do something entirely different.
Another thing is misconceptions being a young man of 27 and looking fit people tend to look confused when I check my sugar bloods in public. It can get a little tiring having to explain that no it wasnt because I ate too much sugar !! Or people saying your diabetic right so you can't eat that right ?
Hello, this will be an interesting diabetic discussion for us all. What are the most annoying or meticulous things you find about having Diabetes. What makes us tick most and get in a dicky fit. What do people say that annoys you? And anything else...
For me it's when you're testing your blood glucose from your finger and you need a tiny bit more blood from your finger but it doesn't happen and your machine says ERROR this stresses me out beyond belief for something so small it can certainly put me in a mood haha
It's very annoying especially when you're rushing.
Another thing I find infuriating is when people say "You're diabetic because you've put on weight!". NO, I've put on weight because I'm diabetic! There's a big difference. Idiots!!!!
No two days being the same. One day my insulin seems to work rather to well, the next day doesn't seem to work at all.
