Shahenda. no you are NOT a faillure. You are just going through a rough period. We all go through them. What kind of regime are you on? I still have a weight problem but at one point I was 496 pounds. I started taking Byetta and it helped with my weight control. One of the side effects of Byetta is weight loss. Talke to your doctor.

You are not! You're here with the rest of us looking for ideas and ways to deal with this. That means you're way ahead of a lot of people out there.

good advise so far, sometimes things can seem so heavy at night, forgive yourself for any transgressions, noone is perfect! start tomorrow in a more positive way. this is life when we fall down we get up and try to live one moment at time making one healthy decision at a time, these healthy decisions will snowball eventually into a healthy attitude and lifestyle. we must forgive ourselves, give ourselves the chance to start over and treat ourselves with compassion, if we dont who will. many blessing to you, the struggle is hard but underneath you are pure bliss and determination. wishing you peace.

Your not a failure until you stop trying. Success doesn't come from never falling down but rather from getting back up one more time than you fell. Something tells me your still in an upright position.

We've all had those days. I feel frustrated and want to cry because why did I have to get stuck with dealing with this all day. I'm not sure if you're a Christian but I always remind myself that God is on my side and will always be there with me. No burden of mine is too big for Him to carry.

Shahenda, it sounds like you're working really hard and just the fact that you've created a regimen for yourself and are committed to following it seem like signs of success to me. :)

We all have those days. My fasting BG today was 60 points higher than normal. What did I do differently? NOTHING. There are days when this disease behaves itself, and there are days when it acts like a kid throwing a tantrum. Why? Who knows? We all have these days. You are NOT being singled out, believe me.

What you are doing is sticking to a discipline. That alone puts you among the highest percentiles of diabetics everywhere. That is not what failure looks like -- quite the opposite. Hang in there, you're doing the right things.

I am not an expert so you might be better doing a little research on your own. That is what I did before I went to the diabetes guy I was seeing.

All I do know is that it slows the gut down so food stays longer in your intestinal track and you end up eating less. Or at least I have.
