Hi mrsb, I won't tell you to pull yourself together because I can sympathise with your feelings. I'm not diabetic myself but my mum was diagnosed T2 five years ago and is now virtually blind. She had a tough time dealing with it when she was diagnosed but now when she needed him most my dad died on Wednesday of a blood clot on the brain. I do have 2 brothers but the oldest is epileptic and the youngest is autistic, as is my 15 year old son. Do not ever apologise for having feelings like this , you have done the best thing possible in logging on to this forum. I have received such support since I joined and you can guarantee that there is always someone who can give you some comfort and reassurance on here. I hope you feel better soon, but until you do, keep on logging on here and someone will help you.
