AmandaLG replied to EGirl's discussion 'Diabetes and binging on food'"I just want to tell you something I do. Before you go grocery shopping, plan out healthy meals and snacks. Then, only buy the things on the list. When you feel like eating something,all you will have is healthy foods. This seems to work for me, if i…"
furball64801 replied to EGirl's discussion 'Diabetes and binging on food'"I do not know if there are several levels of this but my problem was years ago when my bs was in the 400s I just could not stop eating. Since getting my bs in good order I no longer get these cravings."
Ruth replied to EGirl's discussion 'Diabetes and binging on food'"I really feel for you as I, too, am insulin-dependent and a compulsive overeater. I've found great help through Overeaters Anonymous and, since joining them, have lost nearly 20 pounds and have stopped binging.
You may have to try a few…"

EGirl replied to EGirl's discussion 'Diabetes and binging on food'"Regina, Thank you for your response. I don't like labels, and I think that people with any "eating disorder" are just struggling with an obsessive behavior related to food. So if we were getting technical, then I would say I do have…"
Frankie Sloane replied to EGirl's discussion 'Type 1 Diabetes and binging'"Therapy may be a waste of money if the person seeking it is truly only suffering from superficial, circumstantial and/or temporary problems. However, I don't believe it is anyone's right on this forum to deliberately tell someone who…"
Erik replied to EGirl's discussion 'Type 1 Diabetes and binging'"I struggle with food too. My son died almost 4 years ago, which is when I was diagnosed with T1. I think the stress affected/accelerated my D. I would encourage you to try a short term rigid diet of pre packaged foods with known carbs to get your bg…"
JamesUK replied to EGirl's discussion 'Type 1 Diabetes and binging'"I think these days therapy is a total waste of money. You’ve got forums like this to get help and advice from people when you don’t want to talk to your friends and family.
The whole world laughs at the US and its “I’ve…"

- LOL, we'll see how much of a runner I really am as I've signed up for the Chicago Marathon in October. I ran 2x 1/2 marathons in a couple of weeks last year so perhaps the best answer is I'm more of a runner than non-runners but not as much of a runner as crazy runners?

- Hi EGirl! I have been researching for my first pump. I am very exited! My doctor gave me three to choose from and one of them is the MiniMed. Why did you end up choosing the MiniMed?
