Why does such a small thing complicate life

It's a funny old world we live in when having a slice of pizza and a glass of milk can send you into what seems like an endless depression. I've spend the entirety of today feeling on top of the world: smiling at anyone i had to talk to, and all because I woke up earlier than i usually do.I even spend most of today jumping from place to place with happiness. So why can such a small amount of food complicate things so much? Why do small things like this effect me so badly? It even goes as far as making me doubt myself drastically and deriving little to no fun from most situations. And I'm not complaining before people tell me its my own fault as I understand what I did and I will take the consequences but I just needed to write this down.

My question is: Did anyone else have similar problems to this when they where first coming to grips with their situation?
 
I am, Now anyway.

For the past 6 months ive been kinda in denial about my diabetes. Been going on thinking to my self na ive not got it, im fine, i can eat this yada yada..

Its now, over the past few days where ive eaten hardly anything at all and drink sugar/carb free drinks and still my BS levels shoot up, I feel.. well ****. I kinda get how your feeling.

Cant just go out with mates or family etc and grab some launch or dinner with out having to stop and think about what im gonna eat, how is it going to affect my BS levels etc.***** *** big time :(
 
Don't let it get you down. You've got to live with your diabetes. Okay so what you ate put your numbers up for a time. You can balance it out. If you don't have the occasional treat all you're doing is existing not living. Don't beat yourself up.

It soon becomes second nature to think 'if I have this and this, then later I'll only have this'. Or exercise is a good way of bringing down numbers. I've seen my brother eat a chocolate bar and then spend an hour or two doing laborious gardening to balance it out.

Also once you've eaten it, it is past, and you can't change the past. Note it for next time and move on.
