[QUOTE="Greg1957, post: 1636235, member: 455654"] I joined this forum one week ago, and I am so glad that I did, great people here, I am diabetic type 2, have PTSD and did have serious depression, like you, I just did not care, add to this 4 fractures in my spine, both hips shot, every joint and muscle group in pain, the only reason to stick with it was my family. The reality is that you can be either your best friend or worse enemy, and in reality, the only person to get you through is you. Others can help and advise, but you have to make the descision. It is common for diabetics to get depressed, me, I quit all drugs except metformin, went on a low carb high fat diet, it is still early doors, but I am losing weight, my blood sugars are falling, I am making low carb eating fun not a chore, and my mood is not as dark, I am discovering the land of hope, with my injuries, it is hard to excercise, but I have bought a 12 month pass to Newquay zoo, I visit it often, and I walk whilst being fascinated at the antics of the meerkats,monkeys etc. I used to struggle around on a pair of crutches, now I can get around with a stick. Recently I was told that the diabetes has attacked my heart, just another hurdle to overcome. But I will overcome, Stick with this group buddy, try the low carb diet, avoid spuds, rice pasta flour, all starchy foods and root veg, there is plenty of info about it here, discover cooking veg in butter and double cream. The best person to save you is...you. But we are all here if you need a mate. [/QUOTE]
