Diabetes - Type 2

I've been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 for the past 4 years. I think I must have had it longer than that, but I ignored many symptoms (thirst, frequent urination, headaches) because every injury I received healed quickly. Then I noticed that I could not feel the covers on my feet at night. That was the beginning of my peripheral neuropathy - all this is just my way of saying that diabetes or any long term illness is terribly discouraging. I have to struggle with this because it is not just one thing. As you said, there are quite a few reasons for your depression. When I hit the wall, I pray. The odd thing is that nothing really changes all that much for me except I have diverted my thought away from me and up and out to God. Although nothing in my health course changes, I am changed somehow to accept or go on or keep trying, looking for answers - He is up 24/7 thank God.

hi, Ihave type 2 diabetes and it has been really high for the lasy 3months or more. I hate having it and having to worry about it. What to eat and what not to eat. Plus I have Dystonia with alot of pain, high blood pressure, depressision, acid reflex disease, bladder problems and trouble swallowing. What a mess. toots
