[QUOTE="truckrwolf, post: 2685302, member: 586444"] Hi Soph895, I came across your post, while I was looking for something different, but related to diabetes. I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes in 2015. Then I was re-diagnosed in 2023 with T1 diabetes, and hospitalized twice for DKA-non-comatose. The main thing that will help you is to relax. I have been in that exact place. Especially when I was told that I'm now type 1. When I was first diagnosed, my doctor treated me like it was not a beg deal. About a month or so after that I had an appointment with my OBGYN. That was an eye opener for me. She could not believe that my primary doctor was not taking this matter seriously, and proceeded to call her and tell her so. Not all primary doctors truly understand what diabetes is, mine didn't. I felt like she wasn't concerned about it. So I started doing my own research. Finding out which foods are better suited for a diabetic, especially since I'm not one to exercise. I deal with stress, anxieties, plus thyroid issues and ptsd. When I got serious, about 6 months later my A1C went from a 14.5 to 6.5; plus I started losing weight. It wasn't much at first but since that time, almost 10 years ago, I have lost around 100 pounds. We are made stronger than what we think we are. One thing I did, when things was really bad, I imagined that I was sitting on steps that went to God's throne and laid everything there. It wasn't a cure-all, however it gave me some peace and breathing room. I haven't always remembered that I did that, and things would get all stressful and crazy again. But that's on me. Remember, you are not alone, you are strong, you are loved, and you can do this. We, diabetics as a whole, have to take extra care of ourselves, or we are no good for anyone. The internet can be a wonderful place. With lots of love, hugs, and prayers from the USA! Pat J [/QUOTE]
