[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1767690, member: 365308"] Got it when I was 10 and its been a constant balance between chaos and order. At times when I felt like that and struggled with an eating disorder and depression, I just gave into the chaos and did not care. I am not naturally anxious and it didn't seem logical to care because I did not think I could control it. I now have 3 kids and think its my duty to care for myself for their sake and also for my own. I don't always feel great or have perfect blood sugars and it makes me really p'd off when someone asks if ' I have good control' ! Sometimes I do and sometimes its chaos...I have now come to the conclusion that it is impossible to achieve great blood sugars if you are injecting insulin and balancing against your carb intake and the illusion that it is possible or even easy give type 1s a feeling of failing. Like always getting a B minus at best. So I have ditched the carbs and that works better but I am not kidding myself that I will ever get it right which doesn't mean I shouldn't keep trying. And am glad that anyone can say anything on this forum even if it is negative. Here's to free speech. [/QUOTE]
