OK, the hardest thing for me so far in dealing with my t2 D is dealing with alcohol. I never thought I drank that much, but when I can't have it, I really miss it. I have cut out my one night cap a day, but I am still doing the Friday night pub night. Giving up sweets (or greatly reducing them) has actually gone ok, but the boose.
a walker commented on a walker's blog post 'Things are not going well, just need to vent'"Update: my parents cancer looks like it will be OK. I have stopped worrying about my daughters pap test - doctor said had to wait 3 months and then retest. And I am deliriously happy because my T1 daughter will be moving back home after being away…"
a walker replied to rainbowgoddess's discussion 'You know you have low blood sugar when....'"Yes, my daughter experienced this August 2008. She was really freaked out. There were big burly firemen and police filling her room. These American emergency responders were wonderful, as was the hotel staff. They all stayed with her for a while…"
a walker replied to Yvonne's discussion 'Doctor won't discuss diabetes treatment'"My doctor doesn't deal too much with my diabetes either. I suspect that it is a very time consuming process and he doesn't want to be bothered with it. But his office does have a special diabetes nurse that is available for all sorts of…"
a walker replied to irene's discussion 'Metformin HCL pills'"Swallow the pills with something bubbly - like diet pop. My husband has difficulty swallowing the smallest pills and this is the only thing that works for him. Hopes this helps."
a walker commented on a walker's blog post 'Things are not going well, just need to vent'"OK - it can be worse. My daughter had an abnormal PAP test, and while I know this often turns out to be nothing, it could be Cancer. It will take a while before we know for sure. More tests, more waiting, etc."
a walker replied to Just Little Me's discussion 'A question for PWD from a wife of a type 1 diabetic'"Maybe it depends on what part of the country you live in, or what insurance company you have, but an accident with a low could invalidate his insurance (imagine being sued for everything you own) and cause his license to be withdrawn. It would be…"

Generally I am an optimistic person and have always regarded myself as quite lucky. Since August 2008 however, things have only gone downhill. My daughter (T1) almost died twice from lows, and it took me months to recover from that. Looking back, I think that I can honestly say that I was suffering PTS - post traumatic stress syndrome. It took 4 months to recover. Then in Jan., my wonderful mother in law was hospitalized for bowel cancer, and Feb 14 I am diagnosed with T2. Two days later my mom… Continue

How have you been doing?? Geez, I just noticed your blog. So much trauma in such a short while. That certainly is a lot to swallow. I hope that your positive attitude will keep you above water. You need to look after you and your Daughter, if she is a Child. I do hope that your Mom, Dad and MIL get Good care with their cancer treatments. You are all in my prayers.
