[QUOTE="Diabetic_Aspie, post: 1211263, member: 309266"] 1. You are not "in trouble" with your Diabetes Nurse. Or this forum. Or "the other" one (I agree with paulliljeros, BTW). And no, your mum can't stop you from buying energy drinks - and she really shouldn't. You are legally an adult, and you can abuse your body any way you want: no one could or should stop you. I am astonished by your "I am in trouble for being honest and people hate me for trying to find the truth about my body" attitude. I'm speechless as I come to understand that you still have no good grasp of what carbs actually are and what foods contain carbs. For example, you keep repeating that you "eat very healthy", including frequent fruit consumption. Dude... Some fruit has a worse effect on blood sugar levels than a Snickers bar. And eating healthier for DM is mostly about the effect of various foods on blood sugar levels. E.g, many diabetics eat more fat than our non-diabetic comrades, and it's good for us. Fat slows down carbs digestion and absorption, hence slower raise in blood glucose levels, hence better controlled by modern (slow) insulins. You were diagnosed in April, and you say you have been getting on pretty well so far. What is your definition of getting on well do far? HbA1c? Energy levels? Weight stabilisation? Or does it mean that you haven't had too many arguments with your mum over your energy drinks? I'm sorry to be so grumpy but NOTHING angers me more than a young person who readily admits that their mother ensures that the YP does something they both consider beneficial for the YP's health (e.g., eating loads of fruit), and then remarks that the same person has no power to stop them from doing something damaging to their own health. Learn about your condition. Take responsibility for your own health. Edited by a mod [/QUOTE]
