[QUOTE="RAPS_od, post: 1858931, member: 132477"] I've had T1 for 50 years and can completely relate to your fear. I often say that if I could never eat again, I'd do it. One thing to remember is your fear is just that - fear. It's an exaggeration of a rational concern. By now, I'm sure you've read the posts that tell you that there are foods that won't spike your blood sugar and that there are ways to counteract spikes (exercise or insulin, for example). One thing that will help you manage spikes more than anything you eat is forgiveness. There are NO perfect diabetics, though many may come close. We all face temptation and exhaustion from counting calories and measuring and taking meds and facing it all over again. Don't beat yourself up if you have a moment of weakness, just remember there are ways to treat it. This is/was a hard lesson for me to learn - and I'm still practicing! I'm glad you're here, facing your condition with the rest of us trying to do the same. That's a great first step. [/QUOTE]
