I'm pleased to hear that it does get easier when you're not working! As I commute up to three hours a day there's just not time for making a super healthy meal - it's still healthy, but I know I could do better if I didn't just feel like going straight to bed when I got home!
I guess it's that feeling of not having any real control? I'm not actually too worried about the insulin - if it works, I'm happy to take it. (esp once I got over that psychological thing of sticking a needle in my belly! - it doesn't hurt, but my brain took a while to accept that!)
1000 times easier for me!! i wasn't commuting 3 hours but it was a 1 hr drive each way to work & as i explained to the endo who kept asking if i could fit in some exercise - i already got up before 6 & was not getting up any earlier & by the time i got home & made dinner there was no way i was doing anything other than crashing on the couch!! so anything other than a quick walk at lunchtime was out...till now. i'm not really 'exercising' so far but i am moving around heaps more!
the lack of control is frustrating - esp when you follow instructions & eat exactly the right thing only to get a high reading
In the meantime, I have become quite adept at 'shooting up' without anyone noticing (either that or they're all being extremely polite - especially when I have to expose an inch or so of tummy bulge!).
Hope you all have a lovely weekend - I'm looking forward to just spending time with hubs and leaving all the chores to next week...
