I was - mentally - not right and one of the things was I lost my appetite. I was still eating at every mealtime - but I literally could not manage to eat very much. I've always eaten the protein and veg in favour of the carbs since I was little and well before D reared it's head. It's supposed to be OK with dose adjustment, right?
Well - no actually, in my case. My BG wasn't behaving as it always had before, at all. None of my body was, and my brain certainly wasn't anyway - I knew that LOL - however I'd told myself it was all down to the mental thing and once I'd sorted that, I'd be fine again .... hey ho ... but that wasn't going to improve, whilst I wasn't eating properly, as it turned out.
It wasn't until my sister in Oz just made the comment -into the air - not to my face - one night whilst clearing the plates from dinner at their house - Well if you ask me Jen (nobody had???) you just aren't eating, anywhere near enough! - and walked into the kitchen - that I started to ask myself if that was true? it was, of course. (It was of course. Big sisters are like mothers really, once your mother's gone, LOL)
I think (but don't know for a fact and it doesn't really matter now) that possibly 'this' has just been part of your grieving process, following your diagnosis? However - if it is - kindly remember it - because maybe you might react similarly to any other grieving that happens? - and clearly it's not a really good idea to do it again in future!
Hope it starts to go better, and isn't it marvellous how some random person can see what's happening - when you can't - yet everyone has been assuring you all along that YOU are the expert, on YOU ! LOL
