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...

You are such an idiot to make it happen to yourself sanjiv....... that is not good..... lol.

Hi Sanjiv! Don't beat yourself up over it. I did that to myself right after my heart attack last year. It was in part due to not watching diet or exercising. While laying in the hospital, I decided to do something about it. At that time my A1c was 11.7. Since then I have been diligent about my diet, exercising and so far have lost 55 lbs. My A1c is 6.3 and I am hoping to bring it down even further.
Just look at it as a backstep and move forward from here. I know you can do it!! Keep us posted with your progress. :-)

Awww sorry. All you can do is get back on your diet we have all been there I am sure. I know I have many times over the years.

Yes, thanks :)

I feel really stupid that i let go off myself and indulged in cravings for food... i was thinking ok i am feeling great now.
But no.....
It has to be a life time habit..
A good healthy habit though :)

bethelbee 09/24/2015

Yes, a good healthy habit! It does get easier over time. There are a lot of things I used to eat that I just don't anymore and most of them I really don't miss. Am I perfect? No, just much more careful than I ever was.

Ok you had your moment of feeling sorry, etc so now back to one day at a time and I know you can bring that A1C back down.

I say any day above ground is a good day. You get the chance to start all over again.
You know how this works and what to do to bring your numbers down.
Don't beat yourself up or talk down to yourself. Just pick yourself back up....know you are human.....and work slowly to the lifestyle change needed to get back on track.
You can do it!!!!! ((((((((gentle hugs))))))))))

You can do it again! I have episodes when I can barely contain myself from eating sweets, but then I get back on my food plan and feel so much better. I am better than I ever was from years ago, but this is a hard job. I am sugar addicted, and it sucks. But keep trudging on, get past now and get back on the program.
