[QUOTE="DJC3, post: 1716180, member: 468536"] Hi [USER=388324]@busygardener[/USER], so sorry to hear your news. It’s such a shock to hear the C word isn’t it? I completely understand the feeling of unfairness, I know it doesn’t help but you can’t help feeling it! I also took early retirement last Jan, and in Feb was diagnosed T2 diabetic AND cancer ( sarcoma in my pelvis). Not how I’d planned retirement! I started trying to tackle diabetes with diet and exercise but as things progressed with cancer I just couldn’t do it. The only things I could cope with eating were fruit and the odd ginger biscuit. Not the ideal diabetic diet but I figured I could only fight one battle at a time. My bg was all over the place while I was in hospital. Now one year on I’m starting to get my fitness back and thanks to the Royal Marsden Hosp and Macmillan I’m looking forward to life again, and I’m determined to get to grips with diabetes. You’ve done so well getting BG and BP sorted and reducing your meds. Even if it all goes a bit off track during treatment you will be able to bring everything under control again. I’m so glad you’ve got supportive family and friends around you, I sometimes think the worry is worse for them. They may be more concerned about the cancer at the moment, but there are lots of new friends here who can help support you with diabetes. As daisyduck says, be strong and be kind to yourself. Big hugs [/QUOTE]
