  • BitterSweet replied to the topic Self Sabotage? in the forum General Discussion – any topic you like! 2 months ago

    Hi Helen,

    I can’t even imagine living my life like this for another 5 years, not like this. For the past 12 months I have been stuck in this vicious cycle of binge eating, crash dieting and each time I begin to […]

  • BitterSweet replied to the topic Blood glucose checks for people with type 2 not on insulin in the forum General Discussion – any topic you like! 2 months, 1 week ago

    I usually check it to see how high I’ve made it after a binge session or out fear. sometmes 2-3 times a day but not I just don’t bother because it scares me to think of my disease as it progresses

  • BitterSweet started the topic Self Sabotage? in the forum General Discussion – any topic you like! 2 months, 1 week ago

    It’s been 12 months and I’m still unable to break this unhealthy pattern I’m in. I find I eat all the unhealthy food I can because I’m afraid of my disease but what I’m actually doing is causing my biggest fears […]

  • BitterSweet replied to the topic Ants crawling under my skin? in the forum General Discussion – any topic you like! 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    Thanks, but I think it’s more to do with how I personally perceived diabetes as a disease than actually having the sensation of ants crawling under my skin. It’s probably just my anxiety :)

    I went for a 20 minute walk this morning and I wore a back pack with 4 kgs of weights in it :)

    I’m back :)

  • BitterSweet started the topic Ants crawling under my skin? in the forum General Discussion – any topic you like! 4 months, 3 weeks ago

    Hi :)
    This is really stupid and immature but sometimes I feel like since my diagnosis that I have ants crawling under my skin? Mentally I think of my blood and the amount of glucose in it running through my veins […]

  • BitterSweet replied to the topic Just another newbie struggling with my new life! in the forum Welcome and Introductions! 4 months, 3 weeks ago

    Hi Helen,

    It’s BitterSweet1.0 new and improved! Lol :)
    I’m just going to reply to my previous post but the difference is now is that I’m not a tortured soul anymore and I’m not as isolated. Right now, I’m in a […]
