[QUOTE="smidge, post: 325198, member: 29301"] Hi Lilla! Things really do get easier. I remember at my diagnosis feeling this total panic. Scared to eat. Scared not to eat. Scared to exercise. Scared not to exercise. My life just started to revolve around what food I could eat, what I couldn't etc etc. More than 3 years on, I'm on 5 injections a day (turns out I was LADA and not Type 2 as diagnosed). But - I no longer have the panic about food. I work out carb contents of meals in my head - I didn't know I could remember so many numbers :lol: I know how many grams of carb I want to eat a day, and I just do it naturally and adjust my insulin accordingly. I use low-carb alternatives for most of my old favorite foods and although I am always aware of my diabetes, it doesn't rule my life anymore. You'll get there - just give it time and a bit of effort. Take care Smidge [/QUOTE]
