Look
@Molly56 i can only guess the life you've been having. And of which I'm compassionate about. Unfortunately these forums have mainly diabetic patients and all have had a huge variation of health care.
We don't know how good his diabetic team are. Furthermore can only act on their patients needs. Maybe compared to his past his bgs HAVE reduced but just not enough?
You have made the right decision and as time passes you'll feel less guilty. You have received support to do so, and rightly so.
Some posters are still very concerned for mr molly56. There are hundreds of mr molly56s who do not know how to change. Some have autism and other underlining concerns which make him changing very very difficult psychologically and socially. We all do.
Can you imagine having to change everything you have been doing for 30-40yrs?
A huge job. One which can only be done little by little ( in some cases).
I can only speak for myself when I say "your ok now. It's mr molly56s turn".
You're the stronger of the 2 as you have proven by moving on, making your change.
I am now concerned about our diabetic fellow.
In your experience with him. How can we help?
You came to these forums for advice. I'm guessing originally to get him support.
Can we now turn our attention to helping him? Is that ok with you? Do you want to be involved?
Most would understand if you didn't. Strength again would be needed.
You see your our only way of contact with mr molly56.
I personally would love to get him on here, even anonymously. Maybe best that way then he wouldnt feel under pressure. Is he computer aware?
I have experience getting old fashioned men onto computers. I'd like to help!
