[QUOTE="MsClarita, post: 2429202, member: 545130"] Hi all, I was diagnosed at the end of May, and am currently on fixed insulin doses - breakfast, lunch, dinner and long lasting at night. Some days I really struggle with fear of eating, if my blood sugar is a bit higher then I feel like I can't eat too many carbs with a meal. I'm also afraid of snacking. I spoke with my consultant last week and he said it's ok to run a bit high for the time being, but I cannot get over the fear...all I seem to read is YOU MUST CONTROL THE DIABETES OTHERWISE YOU'LL GO BLIND / NEED AN AMPUTATION etc. It's really scary. On the other hand, I remain considerably underweight, and I know I do need to put some on. I'll be seeing a dietician "soon" (your guess is as good as mine) at which point I thin I will be able to start carb counting, but until then...any tips? [/QUOTE]
