| I'm going to tell you something. I hate this disease too. And I have many bad days, but reading your post comforted me. You are not alone in your struggle. I have read about kindred spirits lately, and we are all kindred spirits (many who share the same experiences even if we haven't met). You need to vent, so please do, and don't applogize. It's very natural, and it's 10X better than bottling it all inside. You are not alone, and you are doing what you need to do. Just one thing, if you need to use more insulin for a specific food, then use it. My mother had said to me "who on earth knows how much insulin our own healthy pancreas' secrete with what we eat?" It could very well be that your pancreas secretes 15 units for a bagel, so you should be unhappy to use more, because that is what your "healthy" body would have done in the same situation. The only difference is that YOU are going to inject it, so don't feel bad,..... feel empowered.
