Diabetes
Dec. 4th, 2025 08:23 amMy first group diabetes talking session is later today.
I'm going to be the thinnest diabetic in the room by far. (because most of the others are likely to have type 2 diabetes)
My weight has fallen gradually over the last few years (which I now know was due to my body finding it harder to produce enough insulin), but not feeling like eating when I had the flu has brought me to an adult lifetime low of 48.4kg which is definitely too low.
The trouble is partly that I'm tired, my asthma is still bad (I've just started on a steroid course) and I can't seem to get interested in food.
I've put a small bowl of mixed nuts by my computer to encourage nibbling. I've asked my husband to offer me fruit whenever he has some (nibbling a persimmon right now).
I'm open to ideas...
I tending to eat small quantities, I really need more, but I just don't feel hungry....
I don't think it's anorexia - I like the way I look. I've been this shape (well, with nearer 550kg) all my adult life, and I'm very happy with it
I'll let you know if the person running the meeting has any suggestions! Meanwhile, I can at least have a guilt-free square of quality chocolate.
