Awww sorry dear. We all go through that feeling of "I just can't do this any more"...I have many times.

You have to look at the bright side. actually Diabetics are the healthiest folks, we have to eat right or our numbers go crazy.

Get a good diabetic book, of your choice, there are many out there. I have to say Sweet Tater fries are mighty good. Have you tried them.

Learn to cook the foods that you enjoy....in a different way.

You are not alone we all go through this.

I was diagnosed 2 years ago. Unfortunately the no no foods not only raise my sugars.....they make me feel ill (nauseated, head achy, shaky, sleepy, and disoriented....oh and cranky).
I have learned to do exchanges. I agree with sweet tater fries....yum!!!! I use to LOVE french fries, bread.....especially garlic toast/bread......mashed potatoes and gravy.....the whole gamut of no no's. However, I have to make a decision to feel better and keep my limbs, eyesight, and a host of other things diabetics (and regular folks) face daily.
Recently I was feeling a bit deprived with the holidays coming....so I prepped my attitude and choices of foods. Decided to kick it up a bit. Popcorn and potato chips are a big no no for me. However, I found Cape Cod Salted Carmel popcorn found in the chip isle is awesome. it has 40 calories and LOW carb count and does not effect my sugars if I eat it in the afternoon and keep it to one or one and a half cups. It is crunchy (not oily) and a bit sweet :)
AND IT'S DELICIOUS!!!!
I also eat dark chocolate chips.....and sometimes dark chocolate chips with mint. I pour some in this little tiny dish that hold 1/4 cup and it it slowly.
I am not a big snacker or sweet eater.....but I do enjoy feeling like I belong among normal peeps....whatever that is...lol.
Grannie is right.....we are some of the healthiest folks.
It can take time to change up your diet. Try ADDING something healthy and in two weeks eliminate something unhealthy from your diet.
Sometimes when I am out with friends or my mom.....I take 4 or 5 french fries and eliminate the whole wheat roll.....this is a cheat, but with the exchange....it really isn't. My friends and mom (she is also diabetic) keeps me in check with limiting the 4 or 5 french fries. I don't do it often....but every now and then it is hard to stay on track.....so I allow it and it satisfies that "itch" so to speak.

You can do this....keep coming here to vent, cry.....and eventually laugh again ((((((((Hugs))))))

I was diagnosed in January and am still finding my way with this. I have joined a couple of groups on Facebook: Reversing Diabetes and Low Carb Eating. The people in these groups seem to be doing very well and post lots of suggestions and recipes. Hope this helps.

I've been diagnosed back in Jan. '13. It's been a roller coaster ride of sorts and I thank you all for your support. Yeah, it's a struggle and I recognize the struggles people come on here for too. I'll admit a lot of it is likely my fault (stupid French fries LOL), but I guess that old part of me hasn't quite left and I just gotta go research and of course have a good diabetic cook book.
Bad habits are hard to break, but I've been using willpower to try to get me through it. My numbers are markedly better today than yesterday, but I'm not ruling anything out.
Thank you for the suggestions and I welcome more.

One change I made was to add more water in to my daily routine. I did this by adding MIO drink mix to my cupboard. It's a free addition to my water. No carb, no sugar but tons of flavor. They have all sorts of options/flavors. They have energy mixes and I'm not sure if there's caffeine or not if there is than that could affect your numbers. I also spend lots of time searching recipes online and have started making my own "cookbook" binder of the best ones. Frozen veggies or fresh are best if you can get them, use them before they go bad and afford them (frozen is actually cheaper than canned in many instances) just do't load them down with salt and butter. Just gotta make small tweaks and don't get discouraged. Mood affects blood sugar and blood sugar affects mood vicious circle if you get stuck in a bad mood.

we all have these feelings, even after after almost 19 years I still have those moments. But it is not a matter of finding good diabetic foods, it is a matter of healthy eating, there is really no such thing as a diabetic diet.

watch the fats in foods, stay away from fried foods, watch the white breads, pasta, rice potatoes. These items have starches that will hold the numbers up higher and longer. Watch portion sizes, this is important, learn to read labels. Sugar free is not actually carb free (which are complex sugars)

take this one day at a time and do this for yourself and family, for if you don't take care of yourself, you can't be there for family

and we are here, we now how you feel
