Diabetes really sucks

I sometimes think I should just give up. Trying to eat healthy as a truck driver is extremely difficult and expensive. This morning I had 2 flavorless sausage patties, scrambled eggs and a diet coke at McDonalds and it cost me $9.37 (USD) that is absolutely ridiculous! I sometimes wonder if I would live longer if I just gave up on trying to eat better (dietician has recommended a version of Keto) because I think the stress of worrying about my numbers, what I eat and how I will afford to eat is going to give me a heart attack or a stroke!

@Quimliqer is it really? I am miserable most of the time, I don't get to eat any of the foods I really enjoy, I'm old so I really don't have much to look forward to in life, so is it really worth living?

@istillhaveanameitsrick Yes, sometimes life sucks and having to avoid food can be challenging.
Think of the loved ones though, losing you would be devastating!
