DLife brought this up, but only touched on it briefly. One of the reasons I’m on insulin, is that I could in no way control my diabetes on oral medications.
One of the primary reasons I couldn’t, is that you take a fixed dose of medication and have to drastically modify your diet. Not only what you eat, but when you eat.
Well, I couldn’t do that. I still can’t do that. Right now, I can control what I eat, but not how much and when. I know it sounds weird, but the more I try to do it, the worst it gets, and the worse I feel. Its how I have coped with stress all my life. Once the stress hold lesses, it will get easier.
However, right now, I’m waking up wondering what I could have done to make this year better. I can’t quite figure it out, and may yet realize I just did the best I could — but in the meantime, I’m still stressed out.
