[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2171987, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=400739]@Andrew0306uk[/USER] It might we worth your while contacting Diabetics with Eating Disorders, they have a facebook page: [URL]https://www.facebook.com/DiabeticswithEatingDisorders/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&eid=ARALnzWYYKXSEMMiJDBbjZ0hLL7bd3Kg-pgDWMAqV9w2xuvq9vRJdDukAAdK6QN3F6ldoOukahJYM221[/URL] Please remember you are not a burden to your family, these are transient thoughts as you say, when you have them do acknowledge these thoughts as this will help you deal with them, remind yourself at times like this that your life is important to your family and without you they will be bereft so remember how vital it is to be there for them. If you need acknowledgement then talk to them about your feelings, I have very open conversations with my daughter, which I personally feel are necessary as she's often with me when I hypo so I rely on her patience and understanding whilst I recover, but we do talk about the importance of support and compassion in our family. Control and type 1 management can become an issue, I do low carb but I still have a night off every once in a while, so I can eat the ice cream/chocolate/cake without guilt, as long as I get my BG stable before bedtime so it doesn't knock into the following day that's my personal goal, but I don't feel guilt when I do this. This way I don't feel so restricted with it all. More than happy to chat, don't feel so alone though, it's something alot us can understand :) [/QUOTE]
