Re: Re: Stress and diabetes

[Guest guest]

Stress can bring on physical problems...I do believe it can bring on

diabetes. Just before I 'got' it I was working at a job i hated after

begging them to rehire me since i couldn't find other work, left my husband,

not eating or sleeping properly and had people who were desperate...would

have been homeless... living with me in a one bedroom apartment! I nearly

went mad and shortly thereafter I started getting the symptoms that 'should'

have warned me what was going on! (my sis was diagnosed eight yrs

earlier...stress very high in her life as well!)

Not sitting on the pity pot...that was three years ago...and since then

things are better...but when it is one thing after another for long periods

of time I think that is a red flag to folks to take care of themselves

more...they are at higher risk for trouble.

In a way diabetes has been a blessing...it has forced me to think about

myself for the first time in years. It also makes me appreciate life more.

Pity that it had to be this to bring me to my senses about so many things.

Anyway, God bless the caregivers!

Yes, diabetes is a blessing that I cannot put others before myself. I knew the

stress I was into last year and the way I ignored my needs of necessity, my body

would pay a high price for some time to come. But diabetes???? Never occured to

me. G
