I'm angry at the ones that will not keep sugar out of our home and tells lies about me buying it to others and I'm just sick of my mom lying about everything about me. I'm disabled an I live in he** and I can't get out. No sibling will take care of them, and I'm lossing it! I'm in counseling and under doctors care but my mood swings have gotten bad, I don't go into the learn how to eating thing until March but I feel like running and never turning back, I stopped eating along time ago because of my mom's gossip trying to lose weight. I had a life 9 years ago, working..... and now the doctors say I cant' work and SS Administration say I can't go to college to get back on my feet. I don't want pity or and B.S. Just maybe a professional to tell me why I'm so mad and having problems controlling it. An idea of whats going on?

Anger is a huge part of diabetes. Just knowing that my mood swings were a part of it made me feel better. You might notice a pattern between your moods and your blood sugar levels. Whenever I get really pissed and irritated my family knows I have high blood sugar!
Now is the time to ignore everyone else and focus on you- you deserve it !!!
I had a hard time with meal planning. Until you get a plan just for you, everyone keeps saying it depends on each individual and their needs!
In the meantime, don't focus on sugar- focus on carbohydrates. Read food labels to learn which ones are the highest. You'd be surprised. I serving of carbs=15g (total carbs minus fibre)
Its easy once you get the hang of it!
I was told to have 3 carbs at Breakfast, 4 at Lunch and 5 or 6 at Supper. Snacks (between lunch and supper and again in the evening) should only be around 1 carb.(cheese and crackers is a good example)
Your needs will be different but its a place to start. Sugar can be included in small amounts and if eaten with other things. Never eat a sugary snack by itself- include it as part of a meal. Then you won't feel deprived and get irritated!
You'll get used to it if you really focus on taking care of yourself for a while. Explain things to your family and try to make it a family thing-it'll be that much easier. Explain how your feeling and why.
Read all about diabetes everywhere you can-don't wait for someone to teach you in March. Come back here and ask any questions!

Boy..it sounds like ME! I'm like you..disabled, stuck in the house..I used to work 2 jobs at a time. Ended up with Gastroparisis 6 years ago, then lost my foot 1 year ago. I get so tired of people telling me what I CAN'T eat! My diabetes is very hard to control, and now have problems with my eyes too. Sounds like we could support each other. If you want to, email me at shandi1960@yahoo.com If nothing else, I'm a good listener! I'm like you..don't want the BS!

Anger is an important stage of grief. You are experiencing loss on MANY fronts in your life right now. Guess what--it's OK to feel angry! The healthiest thing we can do with our anger is to channel it into something constructive, and it seems many avenues are blocked for you now.
Sometimes, we need to grieve what should have been--but wasn't. Your relationship with your mom, for instance.
I'm going to recommend something that will probably help, because it gives you something important and constructive to focus on.
Watch the 8-minute non-profit video http://www.rawfor30days.com/view.html, about diabetes diet.

you should check with your county's "In-home supportive services" to see if you could get your own place with personal care attendants (if you need them) so you have a more supportive environment....so you can be healthier and happier. if you cant find the service, ask your dr about it, or 'adult protective services'. i have diabetes, don't worry- you will be ok. communicate with your dr about your condition(s) and try to get into a supportive invironment.
