[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1657533, member: 17713"] I used to sometimes feel like you regarding diabetes.. Until I met this special lady. This lady has totally changed my thought pattern. I hope this photo and explanation can help you too. This lady was diagnosed with a really rare type of dystonia at 18. She cannot stand, wee or poo. She has no usable function in hans or feet or any of her body but ..... and this is the biggest but... she laughs and jokes and lives fully everyday to the best of her abilities....although she cant do anything in her home at all, she can still drive thanks to current technology. I have had double mastectomy, chronic stomach and colon problems and T1 for well over 30 years.... I have had chronic depression to point of suicidal thoughts and mental health help. She alone does more to help me live than any other person, and that includes my hubby.. although he is superb. I'm not suggesting theres people inna worse position... just that there are people and professionals, technology and help that you can get to handle your aspects of living with diabetes... I'm so glad you have posted bur I do hope that you can consider that there are fantastic unusual ways and occurences to gain to help you regarding diabetes and life. I too have had pump, but went back to MDI and have been testing, testing testing.... but this isnt living. I think you know that but are having difficulties getting balance with everything. You can find things to help. We bought a puppy dog 3 days after my 2nd madtectomy. Some people told me I was wrong to do this.. in fact it was the best choice I have ever made. Through my girlie I met this friend and her canine assistance dog. Havent looked back. Life for me is still a challenge each day but finding a purpose to live is a lot better thinking than "a burden to NHS"..... Please, please do not give up... seek out ways in 2018 to laugh and relax instead... [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171230/916ede349485a9b3c1ec19028b5a044b.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
