Haven't been here in 1 1/2 years
So I am reintroducing myself. I am a 50 year old who has had type 2diabetes since November 2008. I am managing it with metformin (500 mg 4 a day). My A1c's have been in the 6 ranges, although my next one is next month and I fear it will be higher as I have not been watching my diet, exercising or taking my blood sugars.
A lot has happened in my life recently: Our black lab dog died suddenly in November, my father-in-law died in December and my mother just died in June. I cared for her in my home from February till her death.
I have one daughter and she is going off to her second year of college in a few weeks. Now is my time for me. I do not know how to take care of myself as I have always been a caretaker for others and ignored myself.
I have anxiety, depression, PCOS, otosclerosis along with Metabolic Syndrome. Yikes! I could use some support and ideas on how to find myself and learn to love myself.
This sounds like a sob story and I guess it is. It is the truth.
