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...
Does anyone know anyone who was dx with this? I have had diabetes for over 10 years and just recently got out of denial to face my fears. So as I was reading about skin problems related, I came across this. And I have these symptoms. I go to the Dr tomorrow for my 3rd straight weekly appointment to check my status.
My first time I was Dx my blood sugars were at 400. last week it went down to 286. I have been serious. Now, that its been over 10 years I take it seriously.
Sad but true, I am my worst enemy. Both mom and dad had but both were unavailable to share. So I have been researching and gradually changing my diet. I had binges of sweets in my diet. Like a hoarder.
I am sad, but have no one to blame.

Better late then never!!! It's hard to stick to eating the right way at first but you will get the hang of it and since you want to now it should be easier for you.
Try to get your blood sugars below 150 so they don't do damage. Walking is a great help to lower them. We all get sad now and then so this is a good place to vent!!
