[QUOTE="Arab Horse, post: 1840013, member: 136328"] So sorry to read this, big hug. I have no idea of your circumstances so difficult to advise you but you can "talk" on here and we all know the ups and downs of diabetes, for some more downs than ups! Do you live alone? If so do you have any pets? I love my Sphynx cats and they keep me sane 9O% of the time, drive me mad sometimes)! My husband is no support and since I started low carbing he won't even share shopping with me; he buys "his" tomatoes etc I buy mine so we shop, cook and eat alone. Please don't drink too much as if your liver isn't 100% you could end up with liver damage as well. At the moment I am on ibuprofen and morphine for my hip (to be replaced on the 10th August) and I find half a bottle of wine at lunch time with the drugs really helps with the pain but I strictly limit myself to the half bottle or less and will cut it back to the occasional glass once my operation is over and the pain is gone. Your brother sounds a bit like my sister. When I was newly diagnosed and we went for lunch I was trying to sort out the "best" (or least bad) option and she said "Oh for goodness sake I don't know why you make such a fuss. I know loads of diabetics and none of them make the fuss you do over what you eat. Why don't you just eat what you want and die sooner". We should introduce them as I am sure they would make the ideal couple!!!! Are your health team much help? It seems to be a lottery of where you live whether you get the support you need. I am fortunate in that I was a biochemist so I know how to read my results and what they mean so sort of manage myself although we have a new diabetic nurse learning the ropes so things should improve. Another hug. xxx [/QUOTE]
