Diabetes Diagnosis, In Shock

I have had type 2 diabetes for nine years now. Yes I have gone to the classes and had dieticians, I just hate living with diabetes it’s a huge burden. And have gone through a lot of loss lately , one was my mom six years ago and that loss has effected my depression anxiety, I feel so lost with out her she was my comfort going through the journey of diabetes. All the tears I cried because of this disease could fill a bath tub. She was there every step of the way. Husband not so much, I have to give him credit in the first year he was. He now has diabetes type 2 now also it’s been a year in a bit for him he seems fine with it. Everyone is different. It’s not everyday I feel this way but it sure can get in the way of life. It just takes up so much time, and not much time for things I like doing. That’s my big issue. Oh and the diet, I crave all the time and it makes me really grumpy, yes I cave when it gets unbearable with the cravings I am not going to go deprived. My big downfall is chocolate and ice cream, how about you what’s your cravings?

Long time type 2 diabetic whose pancreas has gone nuts and will be starting insulin today, just hope it makes me feel better. Most of the time I feel like I am 'starving' as my cells cannot get the sugar from the foods I eat into them which is what they need to have happen but it cannot happen without the correct amount of secreted insulin or injected insulin. I have had a lot of diseases/disorders over the years and my choice is to keep an attitude of gratitude, but I miss that mark a lot and that would be my number 1 craving....a sense of peace and an attitude of gratitude daily. Sorry you feel so uck, prayers for us all for peace.
