HbA1C over 7.5?
A group for diabetics that no matter what they do or try can not meet their HbA1C targets. It is time to stop feeling guilty!
Cara replied to derry's discussion 'diabetic support groups'"Zoe, what topics have you had recently? We've talked about gyn issues, exercise, carb counting, cure research, dealing with stress, holiday stuff, travelling with diabetes, etc. We get to pick topics as needed, but I really enjoy…"
Gerri replied to derry's discussion 'diabetic support groups'"Different pyschology at work, agree. No one is being unempathic & that's an insulting statement.

Natalie ._c- replied to derry's discussion 'diabetic support groups'"Hello, fellow Nevadan!! :-) For you, support is even harder, because Winnemucca is a small town, really. And it would be too hard to get to Reno for a support meeting. :-(

There is a group here and all seem to be on the ADA diet and all condemn me for low carbing. So I don't go. Most are overweight and…"
Christalyn replied to derry's discussion 'diabetic support groups'"What alot of people do not understand about Type 2 diabetics is to some it is a considered a secret discretion. Almost like a STD. The don't want people to know about. The do not want to be pited. At the age a type 2 is…"
Zoe replied to derry's discussion 'diabetic support groups'"Hi Cara - We could be sister groups. I started a Type 1 Women's Group here in the SF Bay Area, also with the support of the JDRF. So far we keep ours pretty unstructured and haven't run out of things to say. In January we are going to be…"
Frances replied to derry's discussion 'diabetic support groups'"My concern with making a generalization like "type 2 diabetics are less educated" is that it
