I tell myself over and over again...

" If my being a diabetic stops someone else from having this condition, if I have taken that option from someone else's child - then it is worth the misery and frustration."

You just have to believe in something to get you through.
 
@leslie10152 its the old clique "there is always someone worse off than you".

You need to call your dn and tell them how you're feeling. Depression is common in diabetics.
I'm awaiting an appointment too.

Are you having trouble sleeping?
I'm turning in now as knackered but its worth remembering. Life goes on, diabetes only stops you, if you let it.

I hope you feel more yourself tomorrow!
Sweet dreams.
 
Thank you.
 
At the moment my sleep patterns are very good. It's my feet that are driving me to distraction. The toes are rather swollen and inflamed. Painful to walk on. I'm going in to have them assessed.

Bless you Chuck, pain is a massive distraction from good things in life. Best of luck with the assessment. Hugs

Pain is sonetimes a motivator. To break through a pain barrier is to progress to a higher level. Pain is an indicator that you are doing something incorrectly. It tells you to readjust. Learn that pain is not an enemy but a teacher.
 
Anger is the antagonistic process that makes you question what is happening in your life. It makes you look more closely at your environment and make change. Yet the same energy can destroy all you have achieved. Let anger be constructive, not destructive.
 
On your belief.
I sincerely believe we are all suffering to benefit our future race! A cure will be sort but only with our help. Spread the news and your affliction so science can help quicker.
Ps. You might have gout? Ask your practice nurse, they'll see it most days. Don't forget about it, til its too late. Do you get inflammation anywhere else?

Sorry I call BS
As someone who has chronic pain and pain that is worse than child birth, it couldnt motivate as I cannot move, not moving, not eating, please tell my internal organs to stop destroying themselves, if the NHS cannot give me a reason how can I change. Pain is my enemy, you know when you stand under a shower and the water hurts like a million marbles dropping on you, then tell me what I have been taught, don't shower, great not only in pain but smelly as well. Bathe I hear you say, you truly know how hard your body works when you try to get out of a bath, stand, lift leg step in or out, nope aint happening
I reached a higher level, the level were sitting, standing, laying down all hurt that the level you are reaching for is a bullet to the brain.
 
Has your pain increased since starting lchf?

No but i do have great difficulty digesting green veg, i can only do a lower carb diet not a low carb as such as I cannot digest fat in the amounts a proper lchf diet requires. That would increase pain and bile problems which i've just got under control
 
I had gout, yet when I was treated as a diabetic it disappeared! So there are some benefits!
 
I reach out to so many, yet the level of indifference makes it a daunting task. Let them learn as we did. Then, there is no further doubt.

Apart from my feet, I am free of discomfort. I have been lucky so far.
