I don't know how to cope with being a diabetic. I hate injecting myself, hold over from when I was a child with a big fear of needles. I am not a well disciplined person, yet somehow I manage to give myself my injection every day at 10 pm (10 units of Lantus). I take 1 tablet of Metformin twice a day. The tablets are harder because I should take them 12 hours apart. I do take one at 10 pm but the other one I take depending on what time I get up. Like I said I have little discipline.
I don't do much in the way of physical activity other than walk my dog and day to day activities. I currently weight 160 pounds. I could stand to lose 20 of them. The diabetic counselor bombarded me with all this information about how and what I should eat. I like to eat granted I should lose 20 pounds but it is not like I am obese. It was a lot of information to take in all at once. I was a little grumpy, OK a lot grumpy. I knew leading up to all this that I was more than likely diabetic but I didn't want to accept it. Not me no way.
So this is my journey, I hope it helps someone. Most of all me.
