Treatment and Management
I wanted to ask for suggestions. I may be repeating myself. Please forgive me I am learning about (just recently) how to deal with my cognitive or awareness issue i have had since i was little. I am 56 years old and have been through the system so please forgive me forgive me if I get defensive sometimes as I feel sometimes I am fighting for my life or at least my well being. I know that eating alot is a big part of my problem (diabetes, cholesterol, and overweight). Problem is it's something i have practiced and feel capable of doing(i know you may not understand) i am 280lbs and have a-lot of pains from a car injury in 2015 and ankle injury from working during a hurricane in florida all on my right side. I have alot of responsibility i am newly in independent living. (I lived with my parents most of my life. I took care of them when they were sick. I was denied contact with my family after trying to live with my cousin and his now wife and that ended up in me leaving and now alone. I have made friends with people here where i live after 1 1/2 years of being alone and at odds with a housemate that was trying to g to get me thrown out because he wanted the apartment to himself. He is very dishonest and mistreats me. I am in my room most of the time or at a local spot for food s nd visit my friend. Or doctors. That is my life. Of course i do shopping and laundry dry etc.. i also get therapy and pay all i get to housing food and transportation. So i have very little to spend on keeping my spirits up getting out. I do alot but don't feel accomplished and gratified. Thus I eat. I am grateful but. I know what living is and could be. And i can't get past the pressures of that life. So i eat. It's like I'm not wanted. Any help would be appreciated thank you

Hello, it has been awhile since I posted due to health issues, but I will join the conversation more. I have been managing my T2D for about 10 years now through weight loss through and an improved diet and daily exercise; and I have been able to lower my blood sugar tests level and A1C. I finally stopped all hidden and obvious sucrose about a year ago. Yesterday, I am not sure what triggered me, but I purposely stopped at a gas station and bought and ate two Heath bars, and easily 10 “recommended” servings of cookies. That first Heath bar was absolutely delicious! But last night at about 2 am my body indicated to me that sugar was a very bad thing for me by inducing one of my deep yet normally controlled panic attacks. Very uncomfortable! Has this this happened to anyone else; namely a sugar binge after years of self training? Thank you for reading!
