I'm just back from town - whereupon I relived Primark of lots of clothes hurrah. But I had two hypos whilst out - 3.5 and a 2.2 - the 2.2 was awful, and I ended up stumbling into boots and getting a ton of glucotabs off them - the new raspberry ones are manky btw. But it was one of those hypos where I wanted to eat EVERYTHING! So I went into Asda and got apple juice and a chocolate bar - serious overtreating I know but I had to.
Just home and checked my pedometer. Apparenly according to that I've only done 700 odd steps and burnt off 28 calories...
So that means my "excersise" into town as it was supposed to be was futile, as due to the hypo I've eaten way more calories than i've burnt off.
I want loose a bit of weight - I'm not overweight by any means, but you know what i mean, it'll make me feel better. But how can I when these hypos mean I'm pumping my body full of empty calories?
I am so fed up of this. What's the point? I don't know of any hypo treatments that aren't full of calories and won't rot your teeth. Even juice (my favourite treatment) seems to be bad
there's a tiny part of me telling me to not bother taking my insulin, that it will help me loose weight. I know its stupid and I won't do it under any circumstances, but the little evil voice is there nagging me all the time. I just don't know what to do about this - it's upsetting me quite a lot because I feel like all my work with excersising (you know, the epic long walks and the tae-bo) is just for nothing. I want to join a gym, but can't afford to right now.
