I've been insulin dependent diabetic for 32 years now. I binge eat almost daily and then take large amounts of insulin with my pump to try and cover the food I just ate. I know I am killing myself but I just don't know where to turn. My blood sugars go from 600 down to 40's. I feel like I am on a roller coster all of the time. I know the only reason I am still here is because the Lord is watching over me. I work full-time, take care of a disabled husband, go to the nursing home daily to check on my mother and mother-in-law who both have alzheimers. I always put myself on the back burner. I don't feel like cooking healthy meals after I get home usually around 9:00p. I just binge on junk food, especially sweets. I stay depressed most of the time about weight, finances and family. I am in nursing and know better. I take care of everybody but myself. I am looking for some encouragement from someone that understands how I feel.
