[QUOTE="briped, post: 1824683, member: 472718"] And you shall have the virtual hugs, for what they're worth. Trying to keep oneself on top of the situation is difficult enough, but to do the same for one's near and dear is so difficult. Of course you're both terrified, and Tuesday must seem so far away to you. Lots of people on this forum mention blurry vision due to high BG levels, and as his levels come down his vision is likely to improve too along with any other symptoms. His life is not over, but if he was depressed even before diagnosis who can convince him of that? Fellow T2s? Perhaps ... I was diagnosed in 2005, and my life is far from over. My high carb life, yes, but by no means the rest of it. Give yourself a little break. You are doing your very best for him, but you're not a magician. Don't expect the impossible of yourself. Know that you're doing your very best, and that you can't do better than that, and do something good for yourself. Sit in the sun, go for a swim or whatever pleasures you. Just to take your mind of your troubles for a short while. [/QUOTE]
