Hi
I was wondering if anyone ever had counselling re their diabetes diagnosis and if it helped accepting the condition.
I have been t2 for 10 years. My control is appalling and I can't seem to stop eating. I think until I sort my relationship your food no medication regime is going to work.
I don't seem to have the will inside to do something because frankly deep down i think I have given up and sometimes I feel that it will only be good if I die sooner rather than later.
I am afraid if I have to go on insulin it will be such another major change in my life that I will not cope with it.
I hate that I am sick. For me it is like a weakness or a failure.
I just want to be happy. Hence why I am contemplating going for counselling. Hope all this makes a bit of sense.
Thanks for reading
