Oh my lord, I hurt!

I always think the same thing, but damn it, I never want pizza again in my life.
I don't even like it that much, but my roommate was ordering last night and asked me if I wanted to go in on an order, so I said yes.
It hurts me.
Pizza is incredibly high in carbohydrates, but it takes a long time to be absorbed into the bloodstream. When I eat pizza, I take 2 thirds of my dose before and then the rest a little later. When I get doing things like working on an essay and I wait a little too long to take the second part... then the carbs get absorbed and my sugars jump up high. The other possibility is that if I've taken too much insulin for the amount of carbs in my system, then the sugars drop too low and my body shoots out glucose so the sugars jump up high. I think today was the second one... but either way, I end up feeling like shit. Sometimes I can successfully eat pizza, but not today.
In conclusion, pizza is too complicated a food to eat.

I agree...kinda.
I love love love LOVE pizza. It's a more recent obsession, brought on by first year exams and lasting through late work nights. Damnit i love it. But WHOA it HATES me. I think Boston Pizza is the worst, but i'm sure all of it has some sort of horribleness in the dough that makes me ill (not to mention the lactose in the cheese). But i'm just like you - i'm tempeted, and then i'm very, very sorry I ever ate it. (but it's so goood!!)

(this is me in a nutshell)
But sympathies all around!
