Hi Thats me the worst type 2 diabetic ever :( have been living with it for about 3 years now (had gestational diabetes with my 2nd child and had to inject insulin, it dissapeared after he was born but then a few years later i developed t2) started on diet alone was ok for so long then had to go onto metformin 500mg twice a day and the thing is I know all the things i need to do and what will happen if i dont do them but i just cant seem to find the willpower or motivation to sort myself out...i am the worst diabetic as i love chocolate and carbs but i love them too much...am due my 6 monthly bloods and check next week and am dreading it as i know things will have got worse :( last hba1c was 8.7...have been refered to the dietician but to be fair she told me all the stuff i already knew and like i say i know the repercussions if i dont sort it out, please dont tell me i am the only worse diabetic out there!!

Hi Elaine,
What can be said, you know you need to find the willpower from somewhere. You don't want complications and you don't want your kids growing up when you've got them.

Is this just a willpower problem?

Make one change.

Choose one item.

Change it for something you know is better for you.

It could be the chocolate at night, it could be any other carb you know you shouldn't be eating. Just change it for a better one.

Post back up when you've done it!

I think it is just a willpower thing and being a creature of habit its hard to break those habits!!
