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...
My Mom's diabetes caused her stroke. She was diagnosed with diabetes about 8 yrs ago. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer 2 years ago.
One day before Easter I took my Mom to the hospital for a Stroke. She is home now. The stroke was caused because of diabetes.
She wants to eat cookies, cake, pasta, butter and everything bad. If she wants to give up I am pissed. I talked to her about this 2 years ago. How do you make a diabetic change there life. I say hell if you want to kill yourself I will do it with you....If holding a gun to myself will help her realize. I will do it. I would never take the chicken shit way out but I don't know what to do to get through to my Mom.

hi,vpstar!so very sorry about your mom!some people are just plain stubborn.or,perhaps,she is eating junk food to deal with stress-lots of folks do that.she's not necessarily giving up-she's probably been eating this way her whole life.it's hard to change habits-no matter how unhealthy they may be.diabetics CAN eat those things-in moderation.take care,trish

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
