I'm so frustrated with myself. Why don't I care what happens? Even pain doesn't make me care. I'm so frustrated.
Bringing this over from the morning fasting thread, so we can talk about you.
You said the morning before something about having a can of peaches and not washing them off. You know, washing off canned peaches doesn't make a nickel's worth of difference. You need to have different snacks around. It might be time to talk specifics.
Do you cook or does your wife? Neither? Both? What are your habits? I'm thinking if your wife does the cooking and neither of you are educated about diabetes and what you need to be doing, then it's no wonder your numbers aren't coming down.
You've given us some numbers, but not talked about specifically what you are trying to do, or even what you think you should be doing.
You've got the greatest resource here in the world in terms of information and support. We'll be the wind at your back if you'll let us.
You're not the first person to be depressed about diabetes, and it's tough for that to change until you incorporate some changes and see some success, and find out that diabetes is infinitely livable. Really. It is.
I'm thinking you need some tools, strategies - but first we need to know what your biggest problem areas are. What are you eating most days? What are your biggest temptations?
