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...
It has been over 2 years now that i have been a diabetic and sometimes it is really hard to live with this reality.
The constant checking, keeping tight controls, being careful about eating... all it is keeping my health ok, but then it is making me stressed.
I recently experienced a panic attack by getting all worked up and worried about things.
Sometimes i feel dizzy due to side effects and medication, while other times i feel as if i am going to fall... and it takes away my confidence.
Though it has never happened i feel this shaky, light headed feeling in my brain.
The doctor told me its because i worry too much and also fill my mind with negativity. he tells me it is more related to worry and imaginary fears than anything actually wrong with my body or spine.
I keep asking doctors how long will i live... this n that. .....
Feeling very down today.....

One of the reasons i like dailystrength is that i do not feel alone or isolated with my problems. And it is an inspiration to see people with more serious conditions dealing with it.... wow...truly amazing.
