[QUOTE="maks6815, post: 1952108, member: 497945"] I feel your pain. I was diagnosed 8 years ago. I have had every up and down you can imagine. Currently I am on a downward spiral. I think I am depressed due to other factors in my life. The depression has seeped into my diabetic self care. I am scared to death of insulin. I don't feel supported by my doctors, family and most friends. "Just try a bite" I phyically cant just eat a bite. My New Doctors actually said the words "Take insulin or die". I am so tired of all the attention I need to spend on everything. Checking sugar levels, reading labels, taking meds, Doctor appointments, planing meals and snacks. When I take insulin my body retains so much water. In 3 weeks i gained 21lbs. Everything was swollen and painful. My stress makes my blood sugar skyrocket to 300-400. But because my A1C was 7.6 the doctor does not believe me. I tried to hand him my meter but he just told me that my A1C does not reflect those numbers. I want to try other medications but i do not know how to stand my ground with the doctors. How do you all mentally deal with all this? How do you not throw in the towel and give up? Marie [/QUOTE]
