Stress Forum and Discussions

The hurricane season has been nuts. I am sitting here, tucked in and waiting for Irma to come. So many in Texas, the whole North West and now the South are facing huge upsets in routine that is often what keeps us sane. Keeping a schedule while in an emergency can be difficult at best. Here...

I haven't been posting a lot on here for quite a while. I've been very busy just trying to survive my life. The stress has been huge, relentless, and FELT that it would never end, even though I KNEW it eventually would. I know I carry on about stress a lot and everyone is probably tired of...

This 3rd week of September marks 3 years diagnosed as diabetic & things (blood sugar #) are feeling out of control - like I'm being sabotaged by my body. I'm following the directions of my professional but yet there seems to be very little rhyme / reason / adherence to 'the rules' in my...

Are they an affirmation? Do they blame you? Is there guilt associated with them? Do you beat yourself up because of them? Do you celebrate them? I came across an article that addressed the fact that our glucose numbers are not a pass or fail test. They are information to help us make...

I haven't been here in a very long time. I'm looking for a little help to get moving. At 56, I wonder if menopause is playing a part. I buy really healthy food, but don't have the energy to cook so I'm eating junk and not moving out of pure exhaustion, which is making me feel horrible about...

Hi all, I've been losing weight (40 lbs in 4 months) without trying. I had all kinds of CT scans, MRI, sonogram, you name it. Then there was a simple blood test. The test was taken after breakfast, so not fasting. I had a corn muffin and a coffee with cream so there should have been...

How do you know you have Diabetic Nerve Pain? I was diagnosed with CRPS (RSD) which is chronic pain that will never go away. This has been going on for 13 years. I have Neuropathy in my legs, too. I take Lyrica for nerve pain for my back and it helps also with the Diabetic Nerve Pain. Does...

I came across a good (and a little old) blog about the things people should not say to someone with diabetes. The classics like: "Should you be eating that?" or " You don't look like you have diabetes." People say some really stupid and insensitive stuff out of ignorance (at least I hope it's...

I was diagnosed in March and as of May 25, 2017 I no loner have high glucose numbers and as of June 21.2017 I am medication free!! I'll go see my doctor in September to check my A1C and verify that I'm doing my best to stay away from medication.

I am on an AF/VA pension (Gulf War1) and am so far still able to work, although I moved from AZ to ID 5 yrs ago for med & personal reasons. I have sole, personal, legal custody of my now almost 10 yr old grandson (due to death of mom & drug use of dad, my son) - I have had him since he...

So in the last few months, I haven't been as strict as I should be, and my sugars showed it, coming in at 100-150 ish more often than not. I was pushing to get them down again by diet changes, but wasn't getting the result I needed. And then...we had a wildfire. Less than 3 miles away and...

Okay, after the last go round at the hospital (2 years or so back) when I got the wrong meds and a huge fight, I determined that if I ever went in again, my meds would not leave my control, period. Good thing. Last week I had some truly funky numbness and lightheadedness that landed me at the...
