I Have Type 2 Diabetes

In October last year I was diagnosed. My best friend thinks she is helping but I am sick and tired of them telling me I can't have this and I can't have that it is just the high blood sugar part that I have not the rest of it. I try so hard but sometimes I just wonder why I bother

Some people are ignorant about diabetes. My mother has a friend with diabetes, she can't even remember what kind her friend has, and complains when she sees her eating sweet foods like chocolate or cake. I told my mother that it's different for everyone and that she shouldn't tell her friend what to do, especially since she doesn't know the full story. Only do what your doctor tells you.

@PrettyLesley My doctor has told me nothing except that I have it so I am kind of in the dark

@Wediegiver Perhaps you should see another doctor who can help you with a treatment plan.

@PrettyLesley Everyone is asking about my dietitian but I have not seen one or had one offered to me yet I am not sure if that means anything
