I can’t stop eating carb loaded food

[Admiral Benbow]

There were some signs didn't realise or pay any mind. When told I was diabetic, still bought sugary cereal on the way home. Kept my toe covered to hide the changes until discovered by a family member. Symptoms were by no means sudden. Went to ER the next morning where emergency surgery was performed. Almost lost leg with further infection.

Yikes, that sounds scary. So you never made many changes after being told you were diabetic? Which toe was it that you lost?

Indeed! Not much. Only sometime after. Learned the hard way and still learning for the better. Maintaining or increasing weight a bit is my goal. Don't need to lose any more

I’m really struggling to stop eating all the carb heavy food. Every day I feel a ”treat” won’t hurt and the thought of not eating these things makes me feel anxious. I know they will cause damage in the long term but this doesn’t help me. I’m starting to feel very out of control of it all. Any tips on getting into better food patterns?

I go through bouts of this from buttery white toast to bags of crisps sometimes having 4 slices you just have to stay as straight as you can 4 slices of white bread a week won’t hurt but make sure your other meals are less carby
