However, I do admit that if I want a cookie or piece of cake I'll count out the carbs, bolus accordingly, and enjoy the bloody heck out of it. <br />I wasn't diagnosed until my late teens so I know what it's like to run in the kitchen and grab a handful of cookies with no worries. But with Diabetes you have to measure out everything, even when you are going hypo. Even when I am using my Juice box, pixie sticks, or twinkies to stop myself from sweating and shaking I'm still thinking about if my blood sugar is gonna spike...which will be followed up by a correction bolus and the roller coaster ride starts. <br />I am getting better about my relationship to food though.<br />I always think of it in the long term. The way I eat now is healthy for me. So I will stick to it.

Got T1D at 9 yrs old (48 years ago) and used to sneak pieces of bread when my parents went out - we didn't keep cookies in the house but everything I ate for meals and snacks was measured and weighed, and I felt I had to "cheat" when I could, even if I didn't like what I was eating. First job at 16 was at Dunkin' Donuts - I'd eat 8 donuts while there and when I'd get home I'd sneak a shot of insulin, sometimes as much as 80 units. Don't quite know how I lived as long as I have. On a pump the last 14 years which has made life easier but food has always been more than just food my whole life. And can sooooo relate to inhaling cereal at 2am for a low blood sugar :) Thank you once again for what you write and letting us know we're not alone.<br /><br />MindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-85409903221511637692013-02-28T08:55:47.345-06:002013-02-28T08:55:47.345-06:00Food is mine enemy.

Thanks for shar...I think this is a great post, Kim. Thanks for sharing. It is a touchy and sometimes very personal subject for T1D's but I agree that it definitely needs to be spoken about. I have my own personal story about developing an eating disorder, not long after I was diagnosed with T1D, almost 19 years ago, and you may have just encouraged me to write about it. So, thank you. And thanks for sharing the Diabetes Advocates link regarding this. I love what they are doing.Monica | Little Luxuries for Life with Diabetes™http://www.monicavesci.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-30250130919665478362013-02-26T23:59:07.326-06:002013-02-26T23:59:07.326-06:00T1 and food issues.

I got diagnosed in 1978, before carb counting and analogs, and I've noticed that those of us from that d-generation almost universally have an unhealthy relationship with food. It was that strict exchange diet, I think. Now it's a lot more complicated and the math and timing thing gets us all, but at least there's the ratios that give us a little more freedom. <br /><br />There's another eating disorder connected with T1, I've heard it called "diabulemia." One study I read years ago said that something like one in three adolescent T1 girls between 12 and 20 admitted to manipulating insulin to lose weight. Those are the ones in the study who admitted to it. I'm positive boys do it too. That study also showed that 80% of those girls had eye changes within 5 years.

I honestly can't tell you the last time I ate a piece of fruit. I wouldn't say these are eating disorders, but definitely speaks to the "obsession" T1Ds have with food/food choices.Katiehttp://www.diabeticadvocate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-83030824819495900902013-02-26T11:44:15.491-06:002013-02-26T11:44:15.491-06:00Indeed you have a point.
