[QUOTE="jennieccles, post: 961200, member: 212859"] To be honest I don't think there is anything you can do other than love her and support her in whatever way she needs. Your wife sounds so much like myself, I have refused insulin but do take Metformin and Glicazide. I have Neuropathy and Mortons Neuroma so using my feet and hands is so painful. I too am on anti depressants, two lots infact one for the neuropathy the other for depression. Diabetes has beaten me and caused so many other auto immune conditions that basically I have just given up. I try to lose weight all the time, exercise is more or less impossible, take over 30 meds a day. I really can identify with your wife, you must be so frustrated and torn up but really its her life and her choice. Just love her dont fight her or her decisions in fact dont even mention them. Concentrate on enjoying each other, your family and life. I know you mean well but you could be pushing her further into depression and stubborness. Change your behaviour and you may see a change in hers. xx [/QUOTE]
