Hi everyone,
I have been Type 2 for maybe 5 years or so now and had it under control and was doing well...It took me a while to get into it as I was in rebellion mode. However now for the last maybe 6 months or so, if Im honest could be longer I stopped taking my Metformin and have relapsed back into rebellion mode. I will be 40 in less than 3 months and need to get back on track mainly because I feel vile. Every day I feel sick, headachey, m going to the toilet maybe about 15 times a day and feel like I haven't had a drink in days even though Im drinking liquids constantly. I get light headed, sweat like mad and often feel like I will pass out. I am being stupid, reckless and very aware of this as my Blood Sugar runs between 14.6 and 23.7 most morning my fasting reading is about 16-17.5.
I am not stupid and I know Im destroying my health but I just cant seem to value myself enough to do something about it.
Im a qualified counsellor , so knw allthe ins and out of doing the right thing for me....
I just wondered if anyone at all has had this self sabotage and self destruct reaction to diabetes???
Any word of advice, empathy or similar would be greatly appreciated.
