[QUOTE="GoRachel1989, post: 890588, member: 188943"] I have fallen off the wagon a few times already, and it's only been a month... one time was at a small social gathering. I've also been experimenting a bit with different foods, as well as matching my insulin to my meals - basically trying to figure out different ways to enjoy my treats without screwing up my blood sugar too much. The trouble is in not overdoing it - that takes some willpower. Because it is mostly trial and error, I do wind up getting occasional spikes in my blood sugar, from occasional "errors." It can be a real mood-killer. I see all these posts about low carb diets, but I don't see that being very feasible for me to maintain, personally. However, I am still interested in learning about the different ways in which people manage their diabetes. Boredom and depression has started to kick in - a terrible combo that definitely doesn't help with the food urges... I get especially hungry during the evening/nighttime hours. Sometimes I give in and eat more than I should... I have been doing it more nowadays, as opposed to when I had just come out of the hospital. [/QUOTE]
