Hello everyone! A few months ago I was diagnosed with type II diabetes (my parents and maternal grandparents suffer from what genetically had many possibilities despite not suffering obesity and being something young for this type of diabetes).
The fact is that I feel fear.Fear of the future, for getting sick from the eyes or kidneys, fear for punishing insulin .. Anyway, I suppose I need time to adapt to this.My diagnosis has been unexpected and casual and maybe that's why I feel so lost.
Suddenly you are a chronic sick, not only the disease becomes part of your life but also does so for the rest of your life.
Forgive, I don't only only negative.I guess everything will happen ...
Thank you all.I love reading.You are great.I hope to be infected with your optimism.

Hello, Veronica.
It is normal for you to be afraid.The brave are not those who are not afraid, but those who face him.
You will see how, as you know the "enemy" you will see that it is less fierce than it seems.If you take care of yourself, your chronic disease will not be something that creates problems, but a condition without major importance.And, of course, if you take care you can avoid those complications that you fear so much.
Here you have us for what you need: doubts, fears, experiences ...

We are quite the ones that we have the hydrates to be able to better calculate insulin. We do the diet for rations of hydrates.I find it easier for my daughter.
