Just being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. And am only 40 so life is over. Guess I won't live to see pension. My mind in really bad place now. Guess God punishing me. Don't know what to do now.
The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Yep. Whole food plant-based diet can potentially restore your beta cell functionality and reverse type 2 diabetes. Start eating whole plant foods and nothing but whole plant foods now while you still have time. It's your best, and really only, chance.Hi,
I do believe this dietary plan is effective for type 2 diabetes and is worth trying.

Type II Diabetes is not a blood sugar disease, although high blood sugar is a symptom, and a serious symptom. Type II is insulin resistance.
I was diagnosed with T2D over a decade ago. I'm in my 50s and still going strong. I changed my diet, started exercising, and take my meds.
What did the disasters that you've seen do after their diagnoses? Did they get their bicycle riding up to about ten miles a day? Did they shed inches from their waistlines? Did they switch to a healthy and sensible diet? Did they start sleeping regularly? What did they do about their diabetes?
Do you sleep wearing your pump? I'm T1D. I was diagnosed last year. I know some with T2D have a pump 24/7 but others do not. I can't sleep. I am considering an implanted pump but for now have to wear one.
It would be so awesome if all I had to do was eat healthily and exercise to dramatically improve my diabetes! I don't have that control. T1D is so different from T2D. And you all are older when it starts. That's another advantage.
Why would I have a pump? I don't have one, don't need one. I also don't take insulin. From the week I was diagnosed, I started making changes to my life. The original post was about someone who was wallowing because he was just diagnosed with T2D.
I know it was about T2D but the OP hasn't returned to this thread in over a year, and you just wrote your post today so that's why I asked you. Can you not understand why someone who hasn't been able to sleep in weeks due to pump discomfort might try to take any shot stumbled upon to seek out tips from a diabetic who might also wear a pump? I didn't know you didn't even have to take insulin. T2D is exponentially less intense than T1D. And you only had to start dealing with it at 30, the OP at 40, that's amazing. I can't just make lifestyle changes to alleviate it. I've been thin and fit my entire life and have a 23 inch waist so losing weight won't help. You're fortunate!
Quote specifically where he stated he had a pump. Quote specifically where he stated he had T1D. He said he was 40. I was answering him, not you. I was responding to someone who was diagnosed at around 40 with T2D, just like I was. I hadn't noted the date. He was saying that his life was over. Mine wasn't. Far as I know, he was in the same boat I was.
