Hi everyone,
Since starting insulin injections last week, my face is getting puffier each day, especially my eyes which look awful. I saw my doctor today and he said he couldn't prescribe any diuretics yet until we get a grip on the blood sugar and could bother my kidneys. I have to deal with the public and I feel so humiliated and depressed to look like this. I eat low sodium, low carbs, watch the sugar (big time) and I drink a lot of water. Has this happened to anyone else -- and what can you do about it?
