There are really 2 ways to look at DM (as any other chronic illness)
You are either
1> A Diabetic
2> A person who has Diabetes
I choose to not let the DM manage my life,
I have limitations in my life for sure, but don't we all.
My rules
1> I'm going to die someday, just not to day
2> Yes I can eat candy, chocolate and prohibitive food (just not a whole gallon in one setting)
3> Thou shalt not increase your insulin dose to counter eating a dessert
4> A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips, wait 2 hours and check BG
5> INFORMATION IS POWER
6> Double check everything, including your doctor
After I realized DM wasn't a death sentence, I just ramped up my insulin when I wanted to cheat
