Hi all
I am really struggling to come to terms with having diabetes. I was diagnosed with GD in pregnancy and then after having my baby the diabetes stayed and I have finally been diagnosed with lada. This was 19 months ago since I had my baby. At the same time I I developed hyperthyriod which has not helped things. I don't know if there is a link between the two.
I am now on metformin linaglitin and a fixed dose of insulin twice a day. My levels for both diabetes and my thyroid are all normal and where they should be.
However I still struggle. I struggle with numbness and tingling and shooting pains in my feet hands . I am going to see a neurologist this week as the speciality didn't think it was the diabetes that was causing it as I have not had it for very long to cause me there problems.
I struggle with what to eat. I feel I can't eat any carbs or sugar at all as I feel bad after. Since being on the insulin I get alot of lows.
I'm struggling to get into a good routine and just even come to terms with it.
Having a family and trying to out what to eat and cook for everyone is making me unhappy. My little boy loves rice and pasta and I can't eat rice at all so I end up making different things for everyone.
I just feel ill all the time and I just want to cry. I feel like I'm just feeling sorry for myself all the time and I don't want to anymore and can't snap out of it.
I don't have any o e else to talk to and people don't seem to understand about diabetes and how it affects your day to day.
I feel very sad d
