Ok, so I am not usually the person who posts on these sorts of things. However I don't have anyone in my life who has any knowledge of or experience with diabetes so I figured this would be a great place to get tips, information, and hopefully find other people who can relate to this disease and its many physical and emotional affects. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in February and ever since then I feel like my world is spinning out of control. I am on a ridiculous amount of medications which sometimes leave me feeling worse than I was feeling before. I recently had a severe hypo that caused me to lose consciousness while I was walking down the stairs at my home. That absolutely terrified me! Now all I can seem to think about is what if this happens while I am driving? What if I am home alone and this happens? I feel so completely helpless and I hate it. I don't have the hang of this yet and I know I cant expect it to be perfect, and I can't expect to feel great all the time. But truthfully this disease is causing me so much anxiety and stress that I can hardly function anymore. Any tips, advice, or encouraging words would be deeply appreciated! This is a really tough thing to deal with and I salute all of you out there fighting your own battles with this disease!!! Thank you. Many blessings!
Welcome to the forum. My own trials began in 2005, I woke up in the emergency admittance unit only to discover I was a diabetic. The first year on insulin was a nughtmare until I got into a rythym. Years later I discovered the forum and it has been plain sailing ever since. You made a wise decision to come here. Good luck on your journey.
