Advice for Type 2 Newbies
Let David Mendosa calm your fears and guide you through the next steps.
Today has been "one of those days". I'm bone tired, my glucose level (taken about 20 minutes ago) is 247, and I'm so discouraged I don't know whether to cry or scream. I'm a therapist, and I specialize in substance abuse treatment. I'm so busy helping others, that I sometimes "forget" (denial of diabetes?) to take care of myself. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about 3 months ago and I take metformin x2 daily. It makes me nauseous with food, without food, before I eat, after I eat, but it helps keep my levels fairly normal. Will I ever feel ok? Will I ever have any energy?
