Of course I don't want to lose my eyesight, feet, or kidney function.More short term, I never again want to feel like I did during the time before diagnosis, 9 years ago, with high BG worsening my depression, giving me this horrible thirst, and most of all I never want to have a yeast infection ever again!But on a day to day basis, my motivation is a positive one, coming from closely watching my BG, and mostly getting it right, it gives me a kick. I love crisps, bread, fruits, chips, a fresh hot croissant. But knowing eating those things will earn me a frustrating fight with diabetes for hours afterwards makes those things far less appetising, I really don't like being frustrated with my numbers. So I usually choose more sensible foods.And every once in a while I choose the treat over sensible foods, very consciously and accepting my numbers will likely not be where I usually like them to be.</blockquote>
