My family and i, have been threw the poorest time of our 21 yrs. together! I know other's can have it worse, my husband and i, have 2 daughter's, 16 & 13. He's been out of work for 5 month's, and when he has worked, it has to go on bills! ,But if we have money left there is ONLY enough to feed our daughter's. I went from 212 to 138, in a few month's. I feel awful, pretty much of the time, and can no longer eat, without stomach cramps and pain! My eyes are getting blurry, and my skin looks terrible!, my hair is falling out and we lost our insurance, and some how DO NOT qualify for assisstance, which we've never had in our life. I  have my own Enterior Designing business, but am sick in one way or another! This is not like me, i've never have been LAZY! My question is... Am i looking towards an early grave? Could my eyes, be leading to blindness?, and if i keep eating this way, (WHICH NO RELIEF IS IN THE FUTURE YET) how bad am i hurting my body?

Hello! I am sorry that you and your family are going through tuff times. I think it is also crazy that you can't qualify for assistance. You are hurting yourself a great deal by not eating and it's not good for your diabetes at all. Have you tried any local food pantries, salvation army or any churches? I know there are a few churches who offer assistance and will give you food also. My heart goes out to you and your family. You might want to try googling local food pantries in the area you live in. I wish I could be more help. If you have more questions please let me know. 

 

God Bless
