I've had some very disturbing things to live with, now I have some distress from what I realize is not just a severe form of diabetic complications but also memory imparement....   I'm seriously not cool, but still doing what I do best which is help,others...  I honestly don't know what I'm thinking anymore or doing.   I do know that I can see the effect on me personally and believe the facts support the issue...  I am not looking forward to another diagnosis added but I feel it I'm my mind, literally.



I didn't and still don t know quite how I'm getting by after the gastroperisis hit and was not diagnosed for almost 6 months since it got severe.  The stomach issue is now over 2 years since needing to be diagnosed

Perhaps if you gave some more info others, including me, might be able to help. Talking specifically about what bothers you give substance to fears and makes it easier to deal with them. I am a diabetic too and have had issues with determining whether how I feel is a matter of blood sugar imbalance or my anxiety/depression. Write more.

Are you on much medication? Sometimes memory impairment can be a side effect. It sucks. You sound like you have alot of stress. Im sorry. Maybe finding a diabetic support group, or things like that, could help? Don't want you to feel all alone in your struggles. We're here! Keep posting.

7 years or or so ago, pain kicked in... no diagnosis till 4 years later, it's now seeming to be the signs of a severe diabetic complication and it's what I know from the period when I didn't have any meds causing the issue... sometimers should be given the name... without a fucking note, or piece of the memory brought to me in some form.... not everything is becoming a proper long term memory. Short term and attention span appears to be diagnosed as bipolar. In 09 prior to the pain, hhh sugar hospital intake... for years I've felt the digestive issues... I fear the next diagnosis related to,diabetic complications

Just the jumping of thoughts trying to,make a. Insurance,company phone call, I feel nuts and remember that I feel overwhelmed just doing normal shit... same with the poor poor disability attorney, 45 min of her time I took to get practically no information exchanged.... I can't barely function... the enjoyment of life is not the same. Insulin is partially part of my cocktail now and I'm pretty sure more is on the way...
