[QUOTE="lindijanice, post: 1699910, member: 446215"] Hey New diabeticT2dude, sorry to hear that you have had such a rough go with things, but glad to hear that at least now you have something to work with...the T2 sounds like it may be incorrect, but you will likely have to be your own advocate when asking for some further testing to be done to see if you are the T3c due to the damage sustained by your pancreas....Anyway, it is definitely one day at a time for all us and one step forward, sometimes two steps back but always looking ahead....what's done is done and the future awaits!! Cheesey I know, but true!! Hopefully the Docs are dealing with your depression as well - some meds and "chats" can work wonders - and there is no shame in needing them...mental health is as much or perhaps more important that physical health because of its pervasiveness into every area of our lives... A few simple suggestions for starting to crawl out of the nightmare you have been in for the past couple of years: 1) set an alarm (or two or three!) so that you have to get up (put them away from the bed or sofa so you have to get up to turn it off!) and test, eat and have a look out the window! 2) Take a good look in the mirror in the morning and tell yourself that you are made of good stuff and will get control of your diabetes - it will not control you!! 3) Repeat the mirror exercise in the evening 4) Plan on what you are going to eat and look forward to feeding your body healthy, healing foods 5) Keep up with the exercise regimen, going slowly if need be so you don't whack yourself out for the next two days! 6) Go out and buy yourself some fresh flowers - may sound corny, but it is amazing what seeing something fresh and vibrant can do for your general feeling of hope and life! (It also forces you to get out of bed and go somewhere and be around people if for a short time!) There are lots of things that you can probably come up with too that you can actually use to measure your progress on your journey to wellness:) Hang in there! As I always tell myself when things are rocky -"this too shall pass"! Blessings/L [/QUOTE]
