welcome Sharoner... I'm sorta new here too. What type of diabetes do you have? How long have you had it? Temptation is always around us and it can be hard sometimes to say 'no'... especially if you are newly diagnosed. One thing I've learnt over the years is that you can still have a treat, but make it small! If you get carried away you are in for high BGLs and if you're Type 2 diabetic that means you are excelerating the deteriation of your pancreas.... you don't want to do that. It takes lots of willpower... but you can do it! You could ask you family and friends to help you in some way... but the best person to change habits is yourself. When I was first diagnosed it gave me quite a shock and I literally cut processed foods from my diet and microwaved everything or used the grill for meat.... I lost 20kgs from doing this. It was done by using daily willpower and the thought of not wanting to damage my body any further. I've also learnt that no food is off limits contrary from what the general public thinks... but it's everything in moderation! Perhaps start by replacing your cravings with healthier options such as freshly cut vegies, small servings of fruit, or low fat dairy. I've noticed everyone on this site has their own experience to share and all in all it's about trial and error and what works for you and what doesn't... we're all different. Think about emotional factors too as that can influence your food choices. I'm not sure whether you have a good medical team around you? If not, that should be your No 1 priority with this condition. Live and learn is what I love saying... it's so true with this condition as you're learning all the time.
