I also on occasion feel 'odd' about food... I've been diabetic for twenty years and every now and again I have to make a real effort to break out of psyching myself out of eating! I can now kinda acknowledge to myself when its happening and normally can address it before it gets too bad@Scott-C thank you for your response, its just that I know my ratios and can adjust the amount of carbs I want to have but I tend to stick to the same as a kind of 'safety net' you know what I mean? I've been diagnosed just over 8 months now, no problems on the carb counting and it not going right, that front is all fine at the moment! just feel 'odd' around food etc, I don't really know how to explain it!, yes I take into account by bs at the time (well my meter does) but sometimes an unplanned trip out obviously isn't taken into account as it cant be lol, also yes I do pre bolus and have got lunch down to a pretty fine art, breakfast bolus doesn't go too well, I have to eat within the most 6 minutes after bolus or I tend to go low, I'll live with that just now though, also unfortunately I cant afford a cgm as not working at the moment, anyway thanks again, sometimes I just need people who 'get it' to have a chat with! x
I just need people who 'get it' to have a chat with!
I do get it I meant I have nobody around me that does xYou'll get it after a while, hen, just takes a bit of time, but you'll get there.

One of the things which sometimes happens in newly dx'd is that they're fairly upbeat about it to begin with, they spend a lot of time figuring out carbs, ratios etc. etc., feel hopeful that, yeah, this ain't too bad, just need to do a bit of carb counting, I can manage that, then they get a run of unexpected, "sorry, what the f just happened there?" results, and it doesn't seem that easy anymore. There's frustration that they've followed the rules but it still hasn't worked out. Believe me, I've been there.
