You sound like me.....

I knew I had diabetes, but made it to where it was no big deal and did what almost everyone else did, but I was still a little on the moderation side, but didn't think about it much, just as long as there was candy in my purse and I had my stuff, if I had to stop and eat, it was fine......

I know I feel it consumes a lot of me now. I talk about it a lot more and think of hmmmmmmmm........I would love to eat that, but don't want to deal with the figuring and the balancing either, so I just stick to my three meals a day and pray for a hypo lol, just kidding, but I catch myself wanting one, when I am hungry. I kind of miss not worrying so much, but it was killing me. The only thing I don't like about this is that I worry about exercising and doing a lot of activity either......I worry sometimes about jumping in the car like I used too and not caring, now since I am trying so hard to get it level I test the bg's to make sure I can drive. I had never done that before. And now I hate when I have appointments right around lunch or after....ughhhh that drives me up the wall.....and I miss watching movies with my husband indulging in popcorn and snowcaps, now I sit and drink water......

But, I do feel healthier and I have lost some weight, and my A1C is the lowest it has been unless I am pregnant, I never had a good A1c ever so this was a big deal for me.

I like your post it seems like it describes a lot of what I feel and felt......
