Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="catherinecherub" data-source="post: 305618">Hi Richard,I noticed that you were here last year asking if it was wise to go on insulin.  Your latest post says that you are not taking your diabetes medication that has been prescribed.  You also seem to have no idea of what you should and should be eating.  Have you ever read the post for newly diagnosed?    <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=26870" target="_blank">viewtopic.php?f=39&t=26870</a>You obviously have psychological problems as well which you try and control with emotional eating but what you have to grasp is that this is your chronic condition, it will be with you for the rest of your life and if you do not get to grips with it then you will be the one that will suffer the complications.Start be reading the link I have included in my post and if you do not understand it then ask questions.  We would all like to eat things that will not improve our diabetes but there has to come a time when the reality sinks in that you are causing more damage to your body.  Your partner is not your carer or mother and if you look after yourself then your partnership will get stronger as you will not be plagued by all these aches and pains and feeling so rotten and will be able to do things together.  High blood sugars make us all feel tired and lethargic.  The aches and pains may diminish if you start losing weight and having your blood sugars until control is usually a good facilitator for this.Habits are hard to break and you will find that members of the forum will support you. There are several people who post about their weight loss and encourage each other.  You do not mention what your blood sugars readings are like in your post.  Is this because you do not take them or do not have a meter?</blockquote>
