[QUOTE="Kimble73, post: 1999755, member: 343982"] I'm not on insulin yet, but I would think that's a whole other ball game, learning when to take it ect. I have back issues to, so my excercising isn't as regular as I would like it t be. Before I hurt my back I would walk everyday, had my sugars in the 5's my last A1c's was 6.1, due to no excercise and stress eating. We had another tragic loss in the family, and t just brought up all the grief again of my mom. It's been a rollercoaster of stress and emotions for me. What do you do when your so devastated, from loss. I eat, and get down. My weight is not out of control. But Inow I could at least lose 5 lbs. But just don't have the energy, the grief takes all that and stress of family issues, not a lot of support with the diabetes, kind of on the back burner, cause everyone is in a grief mode from my brother in laws passing, in Oct. so I'm on my own with everything. Did you lose interest in cooking when you were diagnosed, I have my husband has cooked dinner ever since I was diagnosed. I never know enough variety in what to cook, I get tired of almost the same foods all the time. I'm on medication for my anxiety around the diabetes. But it still acts up, and can be pretty troublesome, people don't understand that diabetes can cause anxiety, when you have a chronic illness, it effects you mentally to, I have both the depression to. Before I was diagnosed I was completely fine. This disease can cause a lot of stress, and some people can be very insensitive to how you feel about the disease. Or they put more fear in you then you already have. Or you get you must of been fat, or so many people have diabetes stop worrying, ect. The list goes on, and doesn't help. It's the ignorance of others that make this disease harder to live with. [/QUOTE]
