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.
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.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.
There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.
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 :)

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 :)
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
