      You hang in there. Take one day and at a time. Do your best and I here for you. Don't be too hard on yourself but try and do a little each day to cut your carbs and regulate your sugar. Taking control slowly sometime is best for you and your body. Sending a smile. Sunset22

      Hi, I know it is hard to stay on a low carb diet. Everyone's body is different therefore some carbs effect you differently than it would me. Try eating different kinds of carbs, wait 2 hours, then test to see where your sugar is. Try this for awhile then you will get an idea of how and what carbs effect your blood sugar. Took me awhile to discover what I could get away with eating and how much of a certain food I could eat and still maintain my sugar. It is a trial and error system for awhile. Now I know how much of certain foods I can eat without my sugar going sky high. Once you get regulated it also helps the hunger pains. Hang in there it is a roller coaster ride some days but I am here if you need me. Sunset22

    • Close Child Support & Custody

      I am officaly divorced with 2 little boys. I have full physicial custody and am trying to have routine in our daily life so that my boys will get used to our new living situation with out dad. They do get to have an over night visit, and that will increase to 2 nights when my youngest turns 2. So far, it's working ok for the boys and I. I initially had a very hard time, but I am learning to let go and not worry as much as I used to.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      I am officially divorced with 2 little boys. We have adjusted well and are getting into a routine. I still hurt that I no longer have "a family", but my boys mean the world to me and I do my best to make ends meet and keep a routine so that my boys will live a normal life as much as possible.

      Treatments

      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes my family and friends express a little too freely how they "feel about my ex". When they talk about him and what they think of him, sometimes it makes me feel like I was an idiot to have married him. But my ex and I have 2 wonderful boys and I don't ever regret that. We did have some happy days together as a family, but that was mostly without my family or friends.
      Time Working / Worked
      I think a lot when I have time on my hands. I find that thinking about what has happened in my life helps a little to reflect and how I'm doing on my own now.
    • Open Diabetes Type 2

      I am type 2 Diabetic since 2000. I initially lost a lot of weight, but I have since gone back to my bad eating habits, not checking my blood sugar level anymore, and back to my original weight of 210 lbs! I don't have any energy, feel frustrated, and no hope. I have 2 little boys and am worried that they too will end up diabetic.

    • Open Single Parenting

      I am newly divorced and have full physical custody of our 2 little boys. My boys have 1 over night visit with their dad and will go to 2 nights when the youngest turns 2 years old.

    • Open Food Addiction

      I am type 2 diabetic. I LOVE food with CARBS! If I lower the carb intake, my sugars go low and I end up eating sugars and food high in carbs to feed the low sugar, which does not help at all. I have 2 little boys and want to learn how to eat healthy not only for me, but for them as well. I have a lot to learn.

    • Open Dizziness & Vertigo

      I've now had 5 spells of vertigo. Not a fun feeling! Just want to hear what others have to say about their experience and what they are doing about it.

    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I am type 2 diabetic since 2002. I have a hard time loosing weight and like everyone else have tried a lot of "diets". I am trying ot learn how to watch what I eat and exercise.
