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 just started giving myself one shot a day and it's so horrible to do. I get bad bruising from it. I'm dealing with depression, this isn't helping me at all. I understand what you mean about dire situations. You certainly are not falling off the wagon. We do what we have to do to keep going every day. I've been a mess for years. Between feeling like crap and worrying about my grandson who lives far away from me, I want to scream my head off. I take so many pills I swear I'm killing my insides. Let's decide that it is what it is and smile through it no matter how much it hurts

Are you receiving maintenance care for your mental health? If so, please see them and bring up your feelings of desperation to them.
Good luck to you. Life long mental health issues are hard to real with without the added stress of type 2, but you can do it. I live with mental health issues, Diabetes and a kidney disease. I see a therapist every 3 weeks for maintenance care. It's so helpful for when things like this pop up.
