    Diabetes Burnout.

    How have you been feeling lately? i hope things are improving for you. Has your partner helped you with this? and I'm sorry to hear about your mother, I'm honestly not ready for when that day comes but I suspect no one is. I'm not sure if it's the same for you but at my clinic they have a...

    It gets better right?

    I work seasonal construction :( and am looking forward to work because it'll allow me to get out of my room and get back to making money. I guess I'm going to have to load up on sunscreen Edit. Spoke to my brother about this and he laughed at me. He's been diabetic for the past 15 years and has...

    It gets better right?

    Thank you everyone for your kind words, I have taken them to heart and finally feel that I am able to move past the barrier in my mind. I feel like I have a new direction in life with my diagnosis, I was taking life for granted with how I lived before but now I'm excited for Spring to start so I...

    Peripheral Neuropathy

    I'm in the similar boat, I've made the life style changes and have lost weight and my blood sugar level is stable (always between 4 and 7 throughout the day normally 5.4ish between meal) but as another member said it can be your body adjusting to the lowered blood sugar and I'm presently...

    Type 2 Should I Classify Myself as ‘In Remission’?

    I'm new to the forums but seeing the "in remission" on your avatar has helped me out a lot because its shown me that it can be done, I started making these videos for myself as a journal and with each video I end it with "to stay off medication for as long as I can and remission". Have a good...

    It gets better right?

    My A1C was 6.5 so I'm right on the border, I've taken steps to lowering my number and have lost weight but a lot of my nights are spent looking at the ceiling and during the day I'm reading the forums trying to find comfort. This is what I needed to hear/read. I keep going through this cycle...

    It gets better right?

    I've only been a type two for the past month and I'm not sure if this is my first burn out but it feels like there's this mental barrier in my head right now, it's like a wall that says "DIABETES" and I can't get over it and it's starting to effect my sleep schedule and personal relationships...

    Exercise bands

    In my diabetes education class they showed us the resistance bands and had us do some exercises with them, I can't speak for them myself because I'm still young (28) and am now focused on the gym doing strength exercises but a few of the older ladies in my class didn't mind the exercises. Are...

    Diagnosed last month 6.5 A1C (Type 2)

    Because I was recently diagnosed my doctor suggested that it might be stress related so I'm going to look into that but hopefully I'll be able to get a good nights sleep soon. And thank you @Phoenix55 for the warm welcome. I spoke with my doctor and she suggested that I work on my stress and...

    Diagnosed last month 6.5 A1C (Type 2)

    Hello everyone, I won the lottery last month, 6.5 A1C. I've been reading this forum for awhile now and finally made an account to participate in discussions and ask a few questions of my own. My story is simple, I was overweight and although I didn't indulge in sugary drinks and chocolate...
