You dont have to cut them out totally that would be to hard you only need to moderate it may be hard at first as at first you will want to have more but if you have a little section in your fridge maybe and fill a bag up with little mini bard of choccie and have 1 maybe when you feel like a snack, do you like nuts there a good snack to?

Watch out for those carrot sticks.. many moons ago when I was on a Scottish Slimmers diet and obsessed about food, I almost ate M & S out of carrot sticks - I kinda developed a bit of a habit.. Things came to a head when I went to the doctor for an unrelated matter and she told me to ease off the carrots as I was turning orange! Seems I was ingesting more carotene than my body could cope with!! :D:D
 
And carrot sticks are all very well but they're a naff substitute for a chocolate muffin... I understand. I've pretty much substituted scones and nuts for everything (although the occasional packet of crisps get through sometimes...). If that's too much you could try making, or getting someone to make you, muffins with fruit in them using a sugar substitute. A bit of chocolate in them every so now and then won't hurt either.

Another one can't sleep? I'm just off to bed now - got to get up early but once i get browsing on the site i just can't help looking round all the recent posts for ages. Been type 1 25 years and really glad to have found this site. It's good to know there are many others in a similar situation. Diabetes has been a very lonely place at times over the years.

Anyway, you know how important sleep is, don't stay up too late now!

Welcome to the forum.

The odd chocolate muffin wont hurt. If we had to give up all the tings we liked we would go crazy. In a balanced diet there is room for everything so no food is a sin. Inact in the office I work in the standing joke is beer and chocolate are health foods as they make us feel better. Three of us are diabetic!

When you getthe munchies try to keep things like nuts and fruit handy. Celery and peanut butter are nice too.

I hope you managed to get some sleep.
