[QUOTE="2Much_SugarShan, post: 1586772, member: 408536"] Hello Alex, I was diagnosed with T2 formally just a year and a week ago. I was troubled, and almost weepy with the news; many of my relatives are also diabetic. I was bitter and resentful for a little while. Went on a DESMOND all-dayer a few weeks later. It was OK, but I still felt as if I'd been "gotten" by something evil. Fast forward to today. I saw my GP earlier to discuss my HbA1c test. I am down from 49 to 47, even though I have not always been a diligent LCHF person. Am feeling positive today, three days ago I struggled to get out of bed: I have put studies on hold in order to be there for an elderly parent who is recovering from a stroke, amongst other things. I do sort of understand how you feel. Diabetes in its various forms can be incredibly isolating. I receive love, respect and encouragement from my loved ones and friends and yet I often feel as if I am in a darkened room all by myself forced to listen to platitudes and half-truths about diabetes from people who do not know ANYTHING about diabetes. (A special kind of hell!) Please keep in touch with the forums: a problem shared is a problem halved. I didn't intend for this message to be so long: but I feel strongly about inadequate help - and bad press - regarding diabetics in the UK. This forum has helped me deal with that, and is certainly my enabling tool. Even if you can't respond to any posts, peruse this site and make use of it. I hope this long winded post puts a smile on your face. [/QUOTE]
