I have a question that maybe you can help me. how badly my life will change now being a diabetic. I am afraid of telling by bosses about this? If you wish not to let known, you may use the anonymouous filter.
thx for reminding me that I still have this journal! I had totally forgotten about it! I need to go to college in 10 minutes but I'll update soon! How are you? What kind of diabetic are you and what do you use? I think it shouldn't make much difference to you bosses..
I was diagnosed Diabetes type 2 ... 6 years ago. Its been a breeze. I take my blood glucose/sugar reading 3 times a day. I exercise. I lost 33 pounds. I dont even have to take medicine for it. I pretty much watch what I eat too. Why would you be afraid to tell your boss? Its not like you would be a liability. Its nothing to be ashamed of. brb ...
Your health care provider should see you every 6 months too. You will have to have your eyes examined every year & blood work done to get your A1C and you will do a urinalysis to make sure no protein is spilling into your urine. Also you must take very good care of your feet. Here I hope this helps. diabetes. People live long, happy, normal lives with the big "D". Its scary at first but there are so many of us out there. There are tons of support groups. Try and pick up a diabetic cook book if you can. Love you Warren. You're in my thoughts & prayers! xoxoxo
How bad are your numbers? I had a diagnosis and made slight changes and the next blood they drew had everything in normal ranges-- my A1C was 5.7-- six weeks before it had been 6.8.
So don't panic. Watch your carbs and increase your exercise a little plus whatever else your doctor tells you to do. I have become a big believer in a good night's sleep helping me a LOT with keeping my readings down. I've also become convinced that I *need* one cup of coffee every day for things to stay good-- I know that's crazy, but it works for me. Be brave :) It'll be okay.
As far as work goes-- your work sponsored insurance will know about your diagnosis. There's no reason anyone else at work needs to know unless it is making your really sick at this point. But really-- in the long run-- when you're more comfortable-- you've probably got Type II's and borderline Type II's all around you at work.
