Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="viviennem" data-source="post: 229085" data-attributes="member: 31282">You've had a lot on your plate, Sula, and stress does funny things to us! What you're doing is comfort eating, and stressing yourself even more by worrying about it. A vicious circle. Try to relax a little, and forgive yourself. You know how to handle your diabetes, so if you just start sneaking up on it bit by bit you'll eventually get your control back. I find that if I say to myself "yes, you can have 1 more slice", quite often I don't! Just being perverse, as usual. Do you still do your fasting test in a morning? I find that if I miss that out, for some reason I find it easier to "sin". See if you can talk to your family and get them a bit more on-side. But don't forget, they'll have been stressed too, by the move and by your mother's death, so they've probably got their own problems at present. It's not that they don't care about you, just that they're distracted at the moment. Maybe doing something together one week-end would help everyone relax? even something like going to buy a Christmas tree together (if you have one).I'd also like to refer you to the 'Low Carb Recipe' sub-forum on the Board Index. If you cook some of these super recipes for everyone (it won't hurt them!) it will help you get back on track. And have a look at 'Chocolate Paradise' for when you start thinking about Christmas.And finally - whenever you feel down, or want to have a rant, post on here! You'll always find someone to listen and give you some support.Keep in touch!Viv  8)</blockquote>
