[QUOTE="Bertyboy, post: 1636398, member: 453093"] Hi Gary & welcome. I think you've come to the right place. You will get lots of support and practical advice here. It sounds as though you've had a few turmoils the past couple of years and those mount up on your health. I think you already appreciate that diabetes is at the root of a lot of the problems, so let's see what the good folks here can do for you. But the start of your turnaround is to recognise the mental depression is medical, that you will need to approach your path to health and happiness again with positivity and perseverance. So, with regards to your T2d control, tell us how you monitor it - are you testing your blood glucose at the moment? If not, persuade your GP that you have serious problems that you want to address and that you think tracking it, even if you test once a day, is part if the fix. With luck, they'll prescribe you one; if not, get a cheap one like SD code free or similar. Secondly, what is your diet like? Do you cook for yourself? Drink? What about exercise? I appreciate these are all repeats of what the doc has probably already ask you, but we can dispense top tips in abundance. Lastly, would your son help you out if he thought he would get a happy dad back? [/QUOTE]
