[QUOTE="AllieRainbow, post: 1879872, member: 473025"] I am seeing better blood sugar control now, and eating less. I have upped my activity level considerably, so feeling a little tired, but seeing the benefits in blood sugar control and weight loss. I have seen the return of the foot cramps at night, though, so I think I need to start having a magnesium foot bath at night to see if that works, and add a little more salt to my diet. Mood wise, I am feeling a lot better. I have been sorting out a lot of jobs in the house, and this is creating a calmer environment for me. I am feeling a bit less pessimistic about the diabetes. I suspect lots of stress from other issues has not helped, and I noticed a rise when I was particularly stressed on Thursday, which then went down as I started to feel calmer. Food wise, I now feel a bit better about food choices and less baffled about what to eat. I think having a menu to go to if I am feeling like that will help get past those issues. I suspect it is just part of the process of getting used to being diagnosed with a chronic health condition that could have very negative consequences if not carefully managed. If I can get my weight going reliably downwards, I am sure I will feel a little more in control. At the moment, I am not worrying too much about calories, as I think they will limit themselves if I make the right food choices to manage the blood sugar, as portion size seems to be a factor as well as what is eaten.
