Hi melissa, Im chris, I just joined too. Yep it definitely sucks being diabetic, I hate not being able to eat stuff I love. Today for example there was a going away party at work , so of course there was cookies, pizza, ice cream cake and brownies ! i was kinda proud of myself i didnt eat any of it. because i know that right now that stuff is poison to me . so i ate my turkey sandwhich on whole wheat, tonight i took my reading and my BG was 102 , i started out at 282 on april 11, so thats good. ive been eating tuna , chickn, immitation crabmeat , low carb bread( weight watchers is pretty good only 8 carbs per slice)and other food like that , The most important thing is to have emotional support from someone , family or a friend , do u have someone like that ? if no one supports you then ignore them its your body! you know you always have us, here , we are your diabetic family , good luck , keep positive and learn all you can, ok?
