My favorite thing to eat that I can't eat is an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese and lox

With coffee

Or a kaiser roll with butter

I love carbs 😭

But they don't love me back

I'm tired of this unrequited love b.s

Love me carbs 😭 ...love me 🥺

A grilled kaiser butter roll is seriously one of my favorite things ever.

I feel you Prip. I didn't even realize just how much I absolutely love and crave carbs and bread until I lived an extremely remote lifestyle and had very limited access to a market. The first time I went a month or so without bread and pasta I lost it.
Not quite the same since I could eat them, but I get how intense the craving is when denied.

@MethDozer I just can't handle the spikes in my blood sugar ...I've tried all types of substitute type things and nothing comes close ...

@pripyatamusementpark Word. My old man has diabetes and he complains and gets frustrated about it all the time. It all frustrates him but he says the bread and potatoes and is the hardest and most annoying part. He's got little tricks he can do so he can have the occasional piece of toast but he says that it requires going hungry, for some bread that isn't really his first or second choice, and then being hungry af the rest of the day.l for just enough to make him crave it even more.

@MethDozer I've tried things too ...it's just not worth it to me ...injecting insulin every hour and drinking a ton of water just to get my blood sugars down ...ugh

@pripyatamusementpark how long has it been for you? Did you take insulin was a kid and then or is it something that came with adulthood?
