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...

Hello to my friends and anyone who is new here. I thought I would write a speech...but then I realized how unappropriate....(Heather Mills...Lol)
Anyway I have come to the discission to just throw my cards in. My Mom just came home from Mary Free Bed. It is a rehabilitation hospital in Mi. She had a stroke the day before Easter.
We found out the stroke was mainly caused by her diabetes and that she is a smoker.
I have thrown in the towel. Since I have learned my Mom was diabetic... I have tried to help her. She could've died.. and if she continues on with her habits she will... Since she has been home her diet hasn't changed and she is still smoking.
So tomorrow I am going to buy her a carton of
Cigs and a dozen donuts.... Let's just see what she wants more. I am tired of trying to save someone who won't make an effort to save herself... I know it's my MoM and that is what makes it worse. She wants to give up .... so can I.

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
I understand your frustration, and the desire to throw in the towel, but giving your Mom smokes and major carb/sugar infusions will not make you feel better or less frustrated. Give her time to deal with the depression and denial, and continue with your support. Support is supposed to be what Family's all about, right?
The fact that she wants to give up is a symptom of that depression and frustration. If you give up as well, she'll have no hope at all. Find a therapist, group or other local in-person support system before you give it all up.
sorry to hear about all ur troubles.. im a smoker.. and i have tried so hard to stop..
i remember when i was younger and thought smoking was "cool"... and my dad went and bought me lots of cigs and made me smoke them in front of him.. everytime i wanted one.. that made me change my mind then...
people cant be helped if they dont want it.. im learning that now with my kids/hubby...
I am not giving up... I am just letting her make her own decisions. I give my input. She can take my advice or leave it so far she has chose to leave it.
For instance, there is Splenda in the house and there is Sugar. I use Splenda. I am not diabetic but it's better. Every morning she grabs the sugar. My family says for me to throw out everything unhealthy... example sugar. These people don't have to live with her.
If you knew the whole situation you would understand. I am done with this whole thing. I am putting up ultimatums..What do you think about that.?
