Diabetes and mental health

Re: Diabetes and mental health

hello @Asgard 

saw the specialist on Monday and the diabetes nurses 

and i was like WOW how diabetes affects your whole body 

the checkup was about everything you can imagine 

and having kidney disease does not help 

now he wants to check my Liver and Heart 

I sometimes feel like saying  " No More "

Hi @Shaz51 

 

You are going through the wars arn't you, I feel the same way, the older I get, something else seems to be grinding to a halt.  I have often said that there doesn't seem to be may spare parts to my 1969 model, plenty of bolts have come loose and am missing pliles of nuts!!!...........Asgard

Hi @Jacques I am sorry to hear you've had a rough day - are you doing any better this evening? 

 

@Shaz51 anemia is rough, I know the feeling! Stand up too quick and it becomes 'night time' very quickly 😅 Do you need an infusion or anything? 

Re: Diabetes and mental health
