Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

I was taken to the hospital last Saturday evening because I was very weak and losing a lot of fluid. I was diagnosed with a bladder infection that was also in my blood. I was discharge from the hopital Wednesday, I am bruised all over from the poking from the blood testing to the IV to the blood sugar readings. I look like somebody beat me up. I'm alone now since my mom died last year and really need some support right now.

You're not alone in being alone. I am too. No famil and everything that happens to me I have to go through alone. All I can say is time will take care of you. It always does. You're already home from the hospital so that's one step in the right direction. One day at a time.

I am alone physical. But spiritually I am never alone.
And of course coming here you can always find someone to respond to your questions and concerns.

Hope you get to feeling better real soon
