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!

I was diagnosed last october. Ive managed to lose almost 3 stone since.
I dunno how much weight you need to loose, but for me, 2 stone was easy to loose simply by cutting down on the carbs and crap. You have to take it seriously. The damage you could ve doing to your body is scary. I had such a fright being told i could have liver damage.....as bad as a heavy drinker simply by eating too many sweets!! That was enough to spur me into action.
Give ya head a wobble and find the healthier options......being healthier has got to be worth it....right?
Think of the people who love and want you around for years to come.......
