Newly DIagnosed

[Go Braves]

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!

God bless you, Ella. I know you're having a real rough time with diabetes. You give encouragement to so many folks around here you definitely are due some encouragement. I just don't have a whole lot of help to give on account of not really knowing all that much about type 1. I think on account of this forum tending to draw in more older folks there's not as many who'd be young, with T1D. I know it's a whole heck of a lot harder to deal with than type 2. Not that type 2 is a picnic but it's not as severe. Sucks you have to sleep with the insulin pump. Hope you can get yourself some good rest.
