Dear all this is my journey with diabetes 4 weeks ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes everyone assumed I would be type 2 as im over weight, im not obese just slightly over weight.
Well Thursday 21st I go see my dr he tells me he has got all my blood results back and it shows antibodies are attacking my pancreas so ive now been told im type 1.5 and am on metformin and glictazide. Ive never felt so alone, sad, angry and confused all in one go. I will end up insulin dependant. The tablets are doing nothing to help control my sugar. I exercise eat all the right foods and still have high levels.
Mentally im finding it all to much knowing im walking around with a failing organ is mind blowing. Having to except im going to have this for the rest of my life and im trying real hard but cannot find any positives with this illness only negatives.
Some members of my family dont understand why I feel sad and alone and tell me you just need to deal with it but im struggling.
I have a full time job im a parent to a wonderful daughter I hide my sadness from her as she would worry to much.
I guess im writing this to try and get out my emotions.
Im seeing my dr again in 2 weeks.
