Venting, diabetes, Gaining Weight

So, today I need to do a little venting! Being a diabetic sucks! There is not a nice way to put it! Most diabetics gain a lot of weight or have trouble keeping their weight under control. I am one of them! As a girl, appearance is a huge part of my self esteem and right now my self esteem is horrible!! In the last 2 years, I have gained about 40+ pounds! I am embarassed to admit it but a lot of diabetics will go through it. I am getting between 50-80 units (sometimes more) of insulin a day! The more insulin I get, the more fat I store in my body! So, the smart thing to do would be to eat less so I don't get as much insulin, right? WRONG! Right now my blood sugars will shoot up to 300 or higher causing me to need more insulin. It doesn't matter if I eat or not. If my blood sugar is over 180, I'm getting extra insulin which means extra fat!!! It's so frustrating! I work out, and try to eat right but it doesn't seem to do anything!
This website explains how insulin stores fat, better than I can!

  5. Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get
    a lot of spam remarks? If so how do you protect against it,
    any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.

  6. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never
    understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

  9. An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you need to publish more about this
    issue, it may not be a taboo matter but typically people don't speak about such topics. To the next! All the best!!
