Steve, sorry to confirm you’re type 2...
That was Jan 2020. It was like being given a death sentence, now 5 months on I’ve had enough of blood testing 5 or 6 times a day. I’ve had enough of trying to look after my diet, I don’t enjoy veg at all, all so boring. Nothing worse than looking at another bowl of badly cooked out of date tasteless veg.
I like jacket spuds, roast spuds and mashed spuds so thats what I’m going to have. I like my Friday night fish and chips with a couple of beers so I’m going to have that too.
I have lost my partner because of looking after my diet, she had enough of me with that diet. I can’t find a new partner because soon as I mention diabetic that’s the end of that.
I live alone so food prep and going to work is hard work, I don’t have time at 5.45 in the morning to mess about with the days menu. I don’t have breakfast, I go into a shop lunchtime to see everything I can’t have, I can’t eat fruit all the time it’s boring so on with the chicken sandwiches.
A dietitian would help but you try and get to see one. And why should we pay for a low carb on line menu, that’s a rip off.
I’m thinking of handing my meter back in, not taking metform and just enjoy what’s left of my life.
I’ve never been so miserable, ever.
I had cancer of the tonsil and was ok with that but this T2, it’s something else.
Anyone else feeling the same?
Steve.
HbA1c 90 in Jan then 78, then 60 in March.
