people who think they know about Diabetes, but they really don't
My reply is eating whenever I feel like it because, now, the case is; Eating even though you're not hungry.

What about yours??

Concentrating on anything for more than about half an hour before thinking "oh god what's happening" and grabbing my phone.
Running.
Subway chicken marinara melts.
Not living under constant stress and fear that if you screw up terrible things will happen to you, which basically means what I miss is not constantly being on 100% full alert the entire time without any relaxation at all, ever, under any circumstances.

Mangoes - frozen mango chunks were a lovely 'healthy' treat on a hot day. I was partial to dried mangoes too. I used to eat a lot of 'healthy' foods with natural sugars in.

Hypos, rude people, ignorance and grey days.
Being carefree and doing spontaneous things without much thought like going to music festivals and being able to stay up all night drinking with friends and then sleeping in, mind you that was before becoming a parent, so does that still count :)
