[QUOTE="Tori71, post: 1938733, member: 486157"] Hang on in there [USER=476774]@Lainlainylain[/USER] . I have had non-diabetic related neuropathic pain in my feet for the last seventeen years, and regularly didn't sleep at all or only managed two hours. This undoubtedly led to over production of the stress hormone cortisol, and to my over consumption of carbs (mostly bread) just to keep me awake and provide energy at whilst at work. Which eventually led to diabetes. I know how difficult sleep deprivation is and you have my sympathies. I now feel the healthiest I have since I developed chronic pain in my feet all those years ago and this is down to ; A fantastically supportive GP. If yours isn't find one that is. You wouldn't go back to anyone else who didn't carry out a job to your satisfaction. Developing diabetes. Yes, that's right. It pulled me up short, shocked me and kick started me into making drastic changes. Relaxing - Download an app such as 'Headspace' and have 15 minutes to yourself. Intermittent fasting - I started this by simply not eating for 12 hours overnight. So no more nibbling in front of the TV at 9pm, then having breakfast at six. It gave my pancreas a good old rest from the constant onslaught of food and was surprisingly easy to get into the habit after a week. Information - As soon as I was diagnosed I read Dr Michael Mosley's book 'The Blood Sugar Diet'. And I joined this site which has been a source of inspiration and information. Even though my HbA1c level is now in the pre-diabetic range I still want to find out more about diabetes. I'm just in the process of starting Dr Jason Fung's book 'The Diabetes Code'. Exercise - I just walk whenever I can. That's all. The important thing is to keep moving and do something you want to do. Don't be forced into classes you don't enjoy because you just won't go. My house has never been so clean due to the amount of vacuuming and housework, but it stops me sitting down!!!!! If you got to the end of this post without nodding off well done, and I hope it is helpful! Don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day, just start again tomorrow :) Happy Sunday to you too,....you [I]can [/I]do it! [/QUOTE]
