I totally agree with you... And I understand that I will have alot of complications later on... After talking to this Doctor, it's just I lost hope... If you know what I mean? I can't even picture now starting a family because I'm going to be an inconvenience to my partner and also have no idea if I'm going to be around to see my kids grow up. There are alot of worse medical conditions out there... But this now feels like the death sentence for me.

Callen, there is no reason why you can't have children and see them grow up IF you take good care of yourself. We need to take extra care of ourselves when we have diabetes to avoid real bad complications and the most important way we do that is by keeping our blood sugar levels to within non diabetic numbers, if possible, that is what I try to do and I do feel better for it. I'm not on insulin so I'm unable to comment on that but, from what I have read on this site I believe T2s have been able to stop insulin with good care, but that would be between you and your doctor. I think it's normal to feel low and depressed at times and then the outlook seems gloomy, but there are people here who are winning their own war on diabetes and there is no reason why you can't be one of them. It's just a matter of finding your own personal balance to stay healthy.
Oh, and welcome!
