See, that's the thing. I've had T1D for 26 years now and I have stubbornly refused to accept that it's not a smart idea to eat anything I want. I am not going to give up hash browns until I lose a leg.
Genuine question, not trying to 'gotcha': do you think your stubbornness in this regard was somehow accentuated by having T1D? Is this perhaps a recognised phenomenon amongst diabetics? (An old friend with T1D was similarly [maybe even more extremely] stubborn, being perhaps the most badly-behaved and impulsive of our friend group at that time.)

Maybe I'm over-interpreting a single line of text on an internet forum, but this sounds like more of a policy than an occasional lapse.
