Thanks Greg,All I can say buddy is, if you have metformin, take it, if you are drinking, stop it, go on a low carb diet, lose a few pounds and you will lower your blood glucose, you might feel like xxxx but I don't suppose your son is thrilled either, at 15 he needs you, his head must also be spinning, and watching you go down must be real bad for him, and if you do nothing, he will be faced at a young age with being alone. So pull up yer socks, shake your feathers and get on with it. Put yourself in your sons shoes, would you want to wear them?
I don't know all the answers, all I can say is look at your problems, can you fix them, if the answer is not today, lock them away and get on with it, in a few days unlock them, can you deal with some of them? Fine do it, if not lick them away again.
Your son needs you, and in a few years so will your grandchildren, if you want to go to his wedding, and in the future hold your grandchildren in your arms, then today is as good a day as you will get to start turning things around. Take your metformin. If you don't have any, get some on Monday.
I dont drink or do drugs never really been in to either other than some prescrition drugs and over the counter painkillers never tried anything, saw my dad drink 12 pints a night for years and years it just never interested me apart from the all teenager to 20 something nights out. My son doesnt know hwo i feel as i want him to concentrate on his schooling so he can have a good career and have a happy life without worrying about me.
I dont think its any specific problems that i can relate it to, I had a decent happy upbringing and you would think being diabetic for about 15 years i would be able to handle it but i have never really had control of my diabetes even when taking tablets lets face it diabetes is quite hidden until its too late. A person i was speaking to explaining how i feel suggested it could be fybromyalgia but i have known lots of people suggest different things icluding rheumatoid arthritis.
