[QUOTE="RAPS_od, post: 1850104, member: 132477"] Hi, jocoll. I'm glad you're here. One thing that I haven't seen mentioned here is Diabetic Grief. This is a period occurring after diagnosis where a diabetic has trouble accepting the diabetic lifestyle and dietary restrictions. There's an article within this site called [COLOR=#0000ff][B][URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/emotions/coping-with-diabetes-diagnosis.html'][COLOR=#0000ff]Coping With Your Diagnosis: Emotional impact and grief[/COLOR][/URL].[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] It explains how your diabetes diagnosis is like going through the five stages of grief. There's another article called, [/COLOR][URL='https://asweetlife.org/grief-a-necessary-part-of-accepting-diabetes/'][B][COLOR=#0000ff]Grief, A Necessary Part of Accepting Diabetes[/COLOR][/B][/URL][COLOR=#000000], that I would recommend. The reason I recommend these articles is that I am a T1 who has many T1 and T2 friends. Each diabetic I've spoken to has gone through these same issues as I did, mostly untreated. If I had realized sooner what this grief could do, I may have saved myself many years of mismanagement and complications. The important thing is to forgive yourself for shortcomings and seek help if need be. None of us are perfect, but we can live longer, happier lives when the grief and accompanying issues are addressed.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
