Panicking.
 

as many times as ive said "i want to die"..I DONT want to. and i think im going to. i have an AWFUL feeling. a gut feeling. i see the doc in the mroning about the diabetes, maybe thats causing panic....but im so scared im going to die.

im not ready. please help me.

Panic can be terrifying. I so hope that the doctor can help and reassure you.

Panic is awful. Try not to let your imagination run wild. I hope the doctor helps - ask lots of questions and make sure you feel satisfied with what they tell you.

Hey darlin, I've been facebooking you and stuff. But this is ALL manageable. I think if you really commit to the lifestyle change that everything will improve. *cuddles* You know where I am :)

thank you guys.

I'm sorry I'm just now updating. I am feeling much better. I test my sugar once a day unless I start to feel bad and then he wants me to check it again. I am taking a pill for now to help but he insists that I can completely come off meds if I lose the weight. Today has been my best so far concerning blood sugar :) Things have started off good. I'm not going to die :)

loves.

That's good to hear. :)
Is it metformin you take? My Dad takes it for borderline type 2 diabetes [non weight connected], and it keeps things under control for him.

yup, it's metformin....seems to be helping alot.

Am glad you haven't had any side effects like I did

*hug*

my little sister has type 1. it's scary and life-changing but can be managed... especially with type 2, lifestyle will make a huge difference. i hope- and i think!- you have the strength & courage to do it.

You just need determination and willpower you can do it and you will x

Have had diabetes since I was 4, hun. It is a life sentence, but by no means a death sentance.

The metformin is a good drug and I know lots of people who get on fine with it. I am type 1 myself, so have 4-5 injections a day, and 1 tablet sounds much simpler (jealous much?)

Am around if you need to chat it through.

wow, I'm sorry.

I cant imagine that many injections a day..yuck! I am very fortunate only to take metformin.

loves.

I saw a bee pollen supershake thing on a tv program and it sorted tne dad's sugars out 2 shakes a day. Look it up I saw that the raw chocolate company sell the bee pollen, its worth a shot.

Type 2 diabetes can actually go away. It's not a life sentance like type 1.

But you always/have to be careful because it can recur, I was told once a diabetic always a diabetic, just type 2 can be controlled by diet and weight loss if you lose that control you start having the symptoms of diabetes again.
