[QUOTE="type2_2020, post: 2287805, member: 526318"] To be honest I only got involved with the whole mental health team because of my wife. I generally like to face problems and anything that stresses me head on. That's how I grew up and that's all I know. I wouldn't say I was low, more like confused but I always channel positivity in the darkest of nights, I wasn't afraid of combating my trauma and tackled it swiftly. I would have appreciated having the results. Knowing what I know now because I almost did a jesus (died and rose on the 3rd day) I would have cut all those habits immediately. Same as I did this time around. I appreciate the value of life, if i knew i was poisoning myself, i would want to stop. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy now I know and yes I was near fatal, but she does have a point, this should have been dealt with at the first stage. I don't know how much damage has been caused as a result. I'm in limbo, they can't tell if i'm T1.5 or T2 and they are being very cautious about it. I know deep down my wife is ****** off about it and I get it, I to had the same emotions when I found out, but I just want to move on and let be what's done. I can't change it, and whatever the results for the eye tests and foot assessments and heart tests show, I will just deal with it then. Don't believe in this blame culture but things like this happen and I'm happy I got a second chance to put it right, regardless of what the future holds, I know I can make it through. If it wasn't for this forum I would still be following bad advice I got from my DN and Dietician. Some days I feel like a junkie injecting insulin and I'm still having to deal with my biggest phobia of all needles. It's been hard to do this 4 times a day and now blood tests like every week, it does get on top of me that I'm scared of the needles but I do it and get it done. I found out about low carb on this forum and never looked back and i'm grateful to each and every one of you for your comments and threads. [/QUOTE]
