Hi Kelly, I think that is great that you are going to 'spill the beans' to your nurse tomorrow. The fact that you are doing that, listening to people when they tell you that you look thin and ill, and that you are now not going to use your diabetes for weight loss again are all really positive and show that you are now helping yourself and getting on track to be healthy again. Once you are back to taking care of yourself and getting good blood sugar readings your body can start to try to repair itself and stop the progression of any damage that has already been done, your nurse will be able to advise you on this. Well done for coming to your senses and making the positive steps towards getting healthy, let us know how you get on. |

Its good you have finally realised that you cant go on the way you have been............sometimes for most people that is all they need to change the way they control diabetes.......the time this takes varies for each person........ |
