Is it the shock of being so ill that’s affecting you @toffee_01 ? That would be very normal. If so, is there anyone you could talk to about it to work through your thoughts and feelings? I found a counsellor very helpful after a traumatic experience (non-medical).

You've got to do whatever it takes at the end of the day. That's why you've made it this far. Sometimes it takes sheer will and determination. There is only one person that matters and that is yourself. Number one. Good luck. I'm sure sooner or later you'll get the support you need. Starting here is a good place.

It’s ok to be upset when you’re dealt a bad hand @toffee_01 You matter too. Have you told those around you that you’re feeling down? Sometimes people don’t notice when they should.

You’re not stupid at all. Don’t think that way. Be kind to yourself. Set small goals and celebrate every success no matter how small. Focus on the positive. That’s not as easy as it sounds because we all tend to be self-critical. Train yourself not to be. You did the best you could at the time x

Glad you have reconnected with us. Sorry to hear about the scary time you’ve had with your health recently 😱

Well done on your terrific weight loss, and great to see how your BGs have been coming down towards a healthier range. 🙂

i did tell my hubby inka about being down, when we where in the hospital and the nurse told me this the next day that he told her i was his world its hard for him to know how to help me cos he thank fully isnt type 2 or 1 but he had a stroke 4 years ago and i helped him with diet get his cholestrol (inherited from his mother) from 13 down to 3.5 he was on meds too but the the doc was amazed it came down within 2 weeks bless him, i am really hoping what the doc said that these meds with my heart i willl be able to stop them over time he said its like the septic throat or the last meds i reacted too had upset the cart x
