I don’t know. I’m sure I should be happy that my numbers took such a great turn but I still feel shitty about having diabetes.

Like, I don’t crave a Big Mac or Pizza, Pasta, Chick Fil A, etc most of the time. I’m fine.

What crushes me is that I can’t eat anything I want whenever I feel like it. I go to the supermarket and walk by Cupcakes. I’ve never been a sweets guy but the fact I CANT have it just bums me out so much.

I know I should be happy. I lost a few pounds. All my other test are great. BUT these “chains” really fuck with my head. It sucks.
