I wanted to ask for advice as I am struggling with accepting my diabetes.
I was told in July that I am diabetic following GD that did not go away.
I was told this over the phone (GTT results were high) since then I have not seen anyone as I have changed doctors and will see a nurse mid December. When I found out I was depressed, then I joined here and ate low carb high fat and my bg were ok. That has lasted about a week....
Since then I have done nothing. In the back of my mind I feel guilty if I eat chocolate, carbs etc but on the other hand I do not think I have accepted that I have diabetes... Its as if its not me, its someone else... The ugly truth is that I need to snap out of this and get my health under control but cant seem to care enough!
Following my pregnancy I have also been diagnosed with arthritis and a prolapsed bladder. \This makes exercise extremely painful and embarrassing as well! I dont know where to start! I think I am getting depressed.
My HBA1C in October was 6.4%
