Not being around lately
 

I have not been feeling very good lately and today it was confirmed that I have Diabetes. So for a while I'll be checking in but may not post very much. This will be just another thing to learn to live with.

Bummer strawman....but you can live with this. :hug:

It's in my family on both sides.....I should get another test in the near future as well.

We'll be here when your feeling better! :x:

Sweet sorrow.

Sorry to hear about the added hassle in your life. :( Happy to hear you’ve gotten this old before Diabetes was one of them. :)

And the answer is NO! You can not have your own category or page for you and the other Pixie sugar suckers. :rofl:

Hey scarecrow..... Diabetes is a bitch, bitchier than me, if you can believe it. There are days I feel horrible, can't get my sugars off the roller coaster but I just try everyday to make responsible healthy choices. I'd be better if ice cream didn't call me personally by name from the grocery store. I wish you luck and if you ever need any info or just support, feel free to PM.

good grief! take care of yourself scarecrow. it is managable and i know you can do it.(((hugs)))

((((scarecrow)))) ~~ it will take time to adjust....but I know you can and will.

Scarecrow,

I'm sorry to learn of your difficulty. I'm sure you'll overcome it. We shall await your return. See you soon.

Scarecrow, I hope everything returns to normal & you begin posting again. We miss you!

Scarecrow.

This is one I'm tapdancing around myself.

PM me if you want another perspective or just someone farther from the immediate.

Hugs Scarecrow.... thankfully knowledge is power... and more and more people are living longer.. and even healthier when it is discovered that they have this... I wish you well...

I happen to be one of the idoits... who think that I can run and hide from it... I believe I probably have the early stages of it... but refuse to look into it.. I know.. I know... my bad.... I think I need a spankin. :(

Thank you all for your well wishes, this will just be another challenge on the highway of life. My only problem is how to combine another diet with my health diets. This will leave me with nothing good to eat. :D No salt, no suger and no fat. :rofl: Oh well life goes on.

Scarecrow, you may be surprised to find that having diabetes will raise your cholesterol level. Taking medication and watching your sugar may allow you to consume more protein and fat without affecting your cholesterol.

I empathize w/ you, I've had type 1 since 1997. You learn to change up your eating and exercise habits, but overall I feel it has been a great way to become a more healthy person. I feel great b/c i eat as healthy as I can and exercising regularly has kept me feeling great.
If you ever have any q's hun please feel free to im or pm me. I'll try my best to help you out through this most difficult time that I once experienced.

haha ur ice cream calls for you too lil? damn i thought i was the only one w/ that pesky problem :jump:
