found some inspiration {i think}

This morning when I wrote in I was feeling very alone and quite desperate about everything,I felt I was never going to get my head round this illness.Since then I have read lots of your messages about all aspects of diabetes and I feel so much better now.A big thank you to Bruce who replied to me and who seemed to get what I was saying.I have a long way to go and theres still much I dont understand but now I know i'm not alone and I dont think i'm going crazy after all.Incidently I have a numb left hand,I thought it was to do with a trapped nerve I had but could it be this neurothingy or do you just get that in your foot? Best wishes,Debs.

Not really,I was ignoring it for years until last year when I started to feel ill.I have a new doctor who has drastically increased my medication to the max but as I said I cant seem to get my head round the proper diet yet but I will.Cant get an eye test round here for love or money the waiting list is 6 months! I have my blood test next week so that will be my cue to start a new eating regime using info I have got from here.I am confused by the mix of pills I am taking and i'm convinced they are whats making me feel ill.4 metformin 500,4 gliclacide 80,1 pioglitazone 30,thyroxine and a statin plus my multivitamins.Is there a chance if I control my diabetes with diet and exercise my pills will be decreased?
