I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes 2 my numbers are eith er reall y low or off the charts I am scared just another piece of baggage for someone thatI might want in my life to deal with I am scared yes I tend to ocd about my health at least that is what my mother would tell you they told me when I got the gastric bypass it would lower my chance of getting this now I am dealing with it head on when does the maddness stop?
I just want a noraml life or a life without issues cause I have come to believe normal is not definable who's to say what is normal anyway right?

good morining my sister - I'm glad you continue to post and share your life - Just remember that no matter what "don't pick up" Life shows up and sometimes it sucks - but if we don't use then we get to live a life that is so much better than if we picked up..We don't pick up - when death shows up - we don't pick up when the money is short - we don't pick up when the boyfriend/girlfriend leaves..we don't pick kup thru sickness..we don't pick up when we want to pick up. You will be ok - just don't give yourself permission to use.
Yes Manon,I agree with Terry."just don't use" that will just "explode the feelings to a worse state"..fOR ME WHEN i'M IN A FUNK i TRY GOING SOMEWHERE WHERE PEOPLE ARE MUCH LESS FORTUNATE THAN ME TO SEE IF i CAN BE OF HELP.(The clinic,soup kitchen,homeless shelter ,H&I...... BUT THE BLESSING IS i WORK IN A FACILITY FOR "PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES",SO i JUST NEED TO TURN AROUND TO GET OUT OF MYSELF AND SEE WHERE i COULD OTHERWISE BE,,sometimes it seems like a thin line........not always easy ,but usually helps........Give it to God!!!.

Manon,Diabetes 2 is not as bad as you think.I became diabetic 9 years ago.I take pills ,2 kinds of insulin and a drug called symlin.I also have issues with being fat.You don't want real high numbers,but real lows are worst 60 or below.Take care and do not use no matter what.We all have to live our lives as it has been dished out to us.
Sorry you have diabetes. It's not an excuse to use. I know many addicts who have been clean many years with diabetes, Hep C, HIV, heart disease, and many other diseases. You don't need to use--no matter what.
