I was diagnosed with type 2 about 3 years ago, although I know I've had it much longer. When I was diagnosed, I wasn't shocked or scared. My mother was diagnosed when I was much younger and I have watched her slip back and forth with the lifestyle. I wish I would have been terrified when I was diagnosed so it would be easier to change my lifestyle.
I still drink pop ( I'm absolutely addicted) and eat chocolate whenever I feel like it. I know it sounds crazy- my head knows I need to stop but I just can't. I eat whatever and whenever I please.
I'm on all kinds of medication but even with that I go through phases of taking it or not taking it. I'm even on nighttime insulin which I take intermittently.
After I eat, I pass out from high blood sugar ( its such a deep sleep that I feel as though I'm passed out). It usually passes in 2 hours though.
I suffer from depression, weight gain, high blood pressure, unbalanced cholesterols, chronic insomnia, skin problems,etc.
Help! Please!
