Hi All and I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.
Well I was diagnosed on Xmas eve with T2 and it was an awful shock to my system I can tell you . Not for one moment did I expect my blood test results to come back with that .
I spent two hours crying my heart out , not because of the illness . It was to be told I had yet another thing wrong with me , a person who takes up to 28 tablets a day a Lidocaine patch on my ankle and liquid morphine as and when required. I use a stick to help me walk on good days and on bad ones my wheelchair.
I am or was an independent person and now have to rely on people to help me with certain things . I had a triple heart bypass when I was 55 and have still on going problems from that, On the odd day yes I do feel sorry for myself ,this when I try to do something in the house and strength or stamina no longer there . Most of the time I say to myself there are others out there a lot worse than me so behave and get on with it . I know with this T2 if I am sensible and follow the diet I should be fine
I think its the unknown that bothers me . I need to find a book that tells me the correct way to eat and what to eat . If I can do this hopefully I will be okay xx
