Hugs, my friend. Why is it overwhelming you? If you feel so, you should go to a clinic that specializes in it. I go every 4 months to check if things are working okay. I have developed it recently. I found out March 17th 2014. I went from Type 2 to type 1 within a year. The more stressed you are, the higher those pesky number go. We are here for you. Let us know how you feel.

I've had for 18 years. This illness is cumbersome. The symptoms is the worst. Talking to other Diabetics will help me.

My late father had it for years. It was his lifestyle that was the cause of it. He passed away 5 years ago but it was not from complications of diabetic. You have to look after yourself. The more you worry about it, the more it will seem insurmountable. As for being happy, that is something that you have to work on. It is a life long job, no one can do it for you. You have to accept yourself for what you are, not what others want you to be. One thing I have learned with time, what people think of me is none of my business. Hugs

I understand what your feeling ive had it for 15 years and recently been feeling like i have been going crazy trying to control my sugars again and its hard not having anyone to talk to that truly understands how you are feeling. But if you ever need someone to talk to im here because im going throught the same thing you are.

Thank you both!!!!! Onique4 I sometimes wished I was dead. I had no reason to live anymore.

I here for you Onique4 as well. We shall overcome this illness together.

Onique4 I've had Diabetes for 19 years now.

I know how you feel and I was diagnosed only 4 months ago. But you're strong. It's gonna be okay. We're all here for you.

Thank you very much!!!! I am too.

Atpeacemary, you can't go from a type 2 to type 1, they are 2 very different conditions with different causes. You can become an insulin dependant type 2, but type 1 is not in any way a progression of type 2. Type 1 is caused by autoimmunity, type 2 is not.
