Diabetic and very depressed debut

Hello everyone.

In January I was diagnosed with diabetes, my levels were horrible, we have glycoso 12,6 and 301 on an empty stomach.

I went into shock, I was in depression treatment and fear of having a disease, (something like hypochondriac but more exaggerated)

When I realized everything I involved I could not stop crying, analysis, diet, doctors, dietitians, swinging, etc.

But I can't, all this is very hard, I don't see it, I see myself unable to cope with all this and there are days that give me crisis.

I suppose it is normal, and that everything will happen but the "detoxification" of the sweet is very bad.

How do you manage it?

How did you feel when you debuted?

Thanks and greetings to all!

Well, when we debut fatal.Everything you say.A lot of fear, loneliness in my case (I live alone), sadness, hopelessness ...
But the body is wise and the intensity of those feelings is passed.And when the effects of good control are seen, the mood also raises.And over time diabetes is no longer the center of our life, it is bothering but life has more important things ...

Indeed, it is of course what I repeat every day, that I am fortunate for being "only" diabetes, which is a fucking jet, but there are a thousand worse things.

I understand that little by little everything will go better,
Although I am 38 years old and I think it is too early for this disease, although I did not know the issue of children's diabetes, and now I almost see mine as a gift, we will see to see.

Welcome.
I also have depressions ....
What type of diabetes do you have ??, I am of type 2.
At the beginning of knowing it I managed them fatal, with 38 years I treated myself 1 year and then I went from everything.When I pass everything many parts of my body, so I tell you to do everything your doctor tells you and do not abandon !!
Now with 46 years I am more educated (from the age of 44 it was when I started to take the bull by the horns).You have to take care of yourself ...
All the best.

@Lanysky: That you diagnose a chronic disease is a "stick", it's like spending a duel.I, 20 years old, left the consultation crying ... pay attention to everything the doctor tells you and you will see how you quickly learn to control your illness.Cheer up!

Thank you so much .!Cheer up to you too!

@Lanysky, a lot of encouragement, that everything is assumed and you will be relaxed.My daughter started with 5 years, she is already 34 and lives very quietly, she never prevented diabetes from continuing her life.
The duel was passed by my husband and I, but everything was normalized when we saw that it could be controlled.
Now he will touch you to learn a lot, but you have time, little by little you will calm down and return to your life.
Much encouragement and always ahead.

Hello!I hadn't answered forgiveness!

They made me antibodies and I left negative, so by history, for having had gestational diabetes 5 years ago with my baby and for overweight / obesity they have told me type 2.

Lada discarded, I lack peccid proof that did not do it and my header doctor either.Have how the pancreas is.

In addition, as I have been told that I have been, at least a year with her, made me background and have non -proliferative retinopathy.So we walk well.

@LANYSKY MALE Woman ... We all have a bad drink with the diagnosis.It lasted a year.I've been on the verge of depression, I just wanted to cry and I whipped myself every time I had a climb.When you start "control" (and put it in quotes because you always can't) relax.You have to learn everything you can from it, see how your body responds, be very strict in the diet, ... You will surely pass a honey period that will facilitate adaptation.I debuted by type 1 with 45 years and I have to recognize that I was uphill up having to prick so many times after the day ... since I put the bomb I have realized that I have taken a turn and I am another.Any questions or restlessness that you have to share it in this forum, there are people who have been there for many years and who are always there when you need them.

Thank you !!!

I will do that!

Hi @Lanysky.
Although my experience with DM2 is very limited, I feel very identified with your situation and that is why I dare to answer you.And I do it above all to tell you that although I felt just as distressed, sick and lost in December 2022 I am after 5 months with values ​​that do not stop improving, 16 kg less, energy and determined to improve every day everything that depends onMy will and effort.
Finding the forum, telling your emotions and feeling less alone is already a huge step.Then, rethink all your daily routine from food, stress, rest, physical exercise ... It is a task that unfortunately the avalanche of efing tasks of "modern times" does not let us do or stop doing for attending a thousand more tasks.
To me, imposing myself 15,000 daily steps has helped me a lot.Especially my 6 km daily walk.With the mind floating, enjoying nature, listening to music ... Once you start the results they stimulate you ... so much that I now listen to all the foreros who recommend force exercises and I have begun to add this routine to my days.And blood glucose plummets, although my dumbbells gara are smiling at any expert!But since the goal is to be the best possible for you and for those who love you, it is worth encouraging you and fighting every day with optimism ...
Many encouragement!
The solution is in you.There is no magical medication, but mini changes in your lifestyle will turn the situation as you see it now.

Hi @Lanysky, I debuted two years ago with 42 years and I try to see the positive side about my previous life, now I take care of myself, I exercise and lead a much better life.If diabetes had not reached my life, it would not lead such a healthy life.I don't know the age that you are but I feel fortunate because it came with a rather advanced age.Not everything is bad, although now I am starting to deal with the punctures (I started in January) and it is not pleasant, but I think there are things much worse, it really does not affect my life, nothing hurts ... nothing hurts ..... only that I have to click and not eat certain foods that if you think about it well are foods that do not come good to anyone.Much encouragement and look for the good side of things.

Hello chic@s, I am 38 years old, I fulfill in June 39.

Thank you all for your advice.

They help me a lot, although I would like to lose more weight.I don't think I get to lose 16 kg.Hopefully, although I have been 9 in almost three months.Little by little.
