Comment by mary on March 4, 2013 at 8:31pm Hello, well my therapist tells me I need to spend at least 30min a day here getting support, lol! I have posted here before and have gained a lot of good information here and from other sources. The problem is that even though I know what I need for me, I don't follow through! I was dx'd Oct 2010, I did really good in the beginning but have fallen off the wagon so to speak. When I have had a problem in my life before, I tackled it and gotten control(instant gratification)but with diabetes it's never ending! I want to eat everything I can't have, I feel like I'm trying to kill myself slowly. I go to sleep asking God to help me over this addiction to food and wake up ready to work on it but by the end of the day, I've blown it again. I got a reminder card that it's time for my 6 mo check up but I don't want to go and disappoint myself and the Dr as I know all my numbers will be up!
Comment by Dana825 on February 26, 2013 at 7:42pm Hey guys, I was diagnosed in Oct 2012 so I've only been t1 for probably about 6 months now. Until recently, I honestly felt OK with my diagnosis. Everyone kept telling me they couldn't understand how I was holding it together mentally with so many life changes. The thing was, I have always eaten healthy and exercised and I have zero issues with needles and blood. Now I'm kind of freaking out. I have always had kind of a disordered relationship with food, especially restricting. I don't actually enjoy eating and can not remember I time I did. My biggest issue right now is feeling like I have no control in my life and EVERYTHING is centered around my diabetes, particularly food. I don't know how to handle this and my therapist has been helpful but controlling my food has been my way to deal with stress in the past and that is simply not an option anymore. If anyone has advice, I'd really appreciate it. I could use any support right now.
