| To a certain extent, diabetes IS an eating disorder. The disease is directly tied to eating; everything you eat or don't eat has medical implications.
For those who are insulin dependant, eating becomes a production, at least if you're on MDI. Choosing what to eat, estimating the carbs, testing the BG, figuring the correct bolus, testing later - a true production.
So not to fixate on eating is, to some extent, not paying the needed attention to your medical care.
I liked it a lot better when could just eat what I want, when I was hungry! |
