Diagnosed T1 4 years ago, aged 34.
Did really well for the first 18 months or so, took the diagnosis positively and worked really hard. Had appallingly rubbish advice from the hospital who took no consideration of my lifestyle or eating habits so I went online and discovered carb counting. I was good, Idecided to restrict carbs to less than 50g per meal, as more than that I found I lost control, and my levels were nearly always around 5-6.
Then... I don't know. I got fed up. I got despondent. I got depressed and I got stressed, and back came my comfort eating habits. And I've been comfort eating for 2 years ... for no comfort. My insulin intake has gone through the roof but so have my blood sugar readings because I'm just not keeping up with the amount of junk I'm eating. I did Dafne but instead of it being helpful in my mind it was like I'd been given free range to eat all sorts of crap, and I lost control, and I cannot get it back - it's like I'm on a self destruct.
At my last consultants appointment I was 'told off' for my hba1c going up to 11 something and I tried to explain how I felt and how I was struggling and was just told to improve it before my next visit. My next visit was supposed to have been in June, yet I've had two appointments cancelled and have just received a rescheduled appointment of November!
I'm so pleased to have found this topic. If anyone wants to give me either a kick up the arse, some encouragement and support or just be there to sound off to it'd be much appreciated!
It's silly. I know what to do to manage better, I know where I'm going wrong and what I should be doing but I'm just not doing it. I've gained 4 stone in 2 years and I'm out of control.
