I'm not looking after myself diabetes wise properly. I know I'm not, and I know its stupid and I know I'm doing damage but I'm sad and upset and tired and exhausted.

But - I can't pull myself out of this. I want to be yelled at (my hubby won't yell he's just supportive and lovely).... so... amazing online friends... please yell at me.
 
Grainger I don't want to yell at you because you are going through so much but if you think it will help I am sending a loving YELL at you xx
 
Now then Missy, I know that you have been through some very tough times lately, but you HAVE to start taking care of yourself now! You don't need to do much, just watch those carbs and keep them to a minimum, test before your meals, and take your insulin. You know that swinging levels will affect your mood, so getting some stability will give you more strength to face the world. Little steps, and you will get back on track!

(Sorry, I'm not much good at shouting at people 😉)

I need telling - so thank you, and this "You know that swinging levels will affect your mood, so getting some stability will give you more strength to face the world" this helps a lot, I need a mantra or something because I know it's ok to grieve, but having a 7 month old makes that tough and I know I have to look after myself but knowing I don't get symptoms having high blood sugar is making it easy to ignore, but this statement. This helps. thank you x
 
You prob will not hear me if I shouted from the North East. But like others I would not anyhow. Try to take each day at a time & hopefully it will come back to you. Pls keep posting & ask if you need something etc.
 
Hi Grainger Sending you best wishes and hope the support on here helps you get back on track and feeling better in yourself soon xx
 
Righty-HO, we aim to please.

You must listen very carefully, for I can say this only once.



GRAINGER YOU ARE LETTING YOURSELF DOWN !

NOW BEHAVE.

YOU BETTER LISTEN COS I CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS IF I HAVE TO SAY THIS AGAIN.

RIGHT ?
 
OK, it's the simple, but maybe not the most sympathetic thing to say. What would your brother be telling you now? Probably to man (or woman actually) up and get a grip! Would he be happy with you self destructing?

I have a brother and would get a bollocking of biblical proportions if he thought he had caused me harm, and I think your brother (from what you've said before) would be just as miffed.

It's a devastating experience to keep pushing through, but you owe it to yourself, your brother and your family to keep yourself healthy.

Love and prayers to you at this time.

I can't do shouting at people so I am senning you hug to help you through the next difficult days [[[hugs]]] You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Pull yourself together, woman! Is that any help? Good luck getting back on track...😱

Totally understandable given the overwhelming grief - try and set yourself minimum standards, it doesn't have to be perfect. If you really want to be yelled at, think of your children and your little niece - they want you alive and healthy for decades to come! {{{hugs}}} xx

You are right - and this is exactly what I need. I've started today at 8.4, taken my levemir, corrected and injected for breakfast. I'm going to be responsible for my actions today. Thank you x

Yay! you have started to get back on track. Well done. Keep it up. You have had a devastating time but you do need to keep yourself as well as you can for all those who care about you and for yourself. Great start, just take each day and you will begin to feel better. You know now that you can and you will do it. Good luck and lots of hugs {} 🙂
 
I'm not going to shout but you must pull yourself together and get on with sorting your D out. I was a bit like you once, neglecting myself then wondering why I felt c**p - and then complications started. YOU DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO YOU. And think of the effect on your lovely husband.

So start today - small steps but work on it and you'll see it is worthwhile when you're feeling well and healthy. (I know what I'm talking about on this one.) 😡 🙂
