Food Cravings and That Full Feeling

I recently decided to limit my food intake – remember I could never get full but quitting my medicine seemed to help?

Well it appears it was insulin related. Once I shoot up I never feel full when I eat. If I skip my insulin for a few days my full feelings return.

The last few days I have noticed something else. You know I love tea – plain ole black tea but with honey and whiskey (not often enough) or at minimum some sugar or fake sugar. Can’t stand it plain.

Well I usually use fake sugar – blue package – can’t remember name – anyway as long as I use the fake stuff I never get hungry in the morning. As a matter of fact, if I just drink tea with an occasional water chaser, I can go from 4 am to noon and never feel hungry. Can’t go much longer because my blood sugar falls too low.

The last couple of mornings I did a test. I used real sugar instead of the fake stuff after a few cups. Within twenty minutes I was starving.

Of course once I eat and never feel full I continue to eat and then my blood sugar skyrockets and here we go again.

I think I am going to have to add quick acting insulin and shoot up every time I eat to keep things under control. Nothing else seems to work except not eating at all and then my blood sugar plummets within eight hours.

There’s gotta be a better way.
