[QUOTE="Sally66, post: 861674, member: 180087"] Thanks RRB. We are not numbers but it often feels that way in how we are and led by both medics and media. Guess I'm new to it all but you find yourself obsessing about it it, thirsting for answers, full of anxiety about how you will manage. Your loved ones become saturated with it and can only take so much. In practical terms I am finding I am spending a disproportionate amount of time on this forum (half term and I should be writing reports). You see if you have stress at work you can try to remedy by taking time out, a holiday for example, but diabetics can never get away from it cos they have to eat and the minute you start thinking food , which you have to, the issues come flooding back. Anyone who has had weight problems and dieted know what I mean. I'm not trying to say smokers don't have a hard time giving up, I'm sure it's tough. They don't have to put a cigarette in their mouths but we cannot avoid putting food in ours, In fact going on holiday often means less control over your food and therefore more anxiety for diabetics. There is simply not enough support for this emotional need for diabetics weary of dealing with their condition. A very useful post which I hope more GPs will see. [/QUOTE]
