im a type one diabetic and was diagnosed just over a year ago. i hate to say it and i hate to complain but im so miserable :sad:
at first i took the diagnosis in my stride, got control of my sugar levels and i was ok, but then it dawned on me that i would be injecting insulin for the rest of my life....
i know it is ridiculous but i still cant believe it, i hate that im diabetic and im so ashamed of it. i would never tell someone i was diabetic, in my head its like this awful weakness that i cant control. i feel so compleatly alone. when i was first diagnosed, i handeled it so well that my close friends and family (2 of whom are type 2) dont ever mention it and just asume that im managing it. but im really really not. i take just enough insulin so as i dont go into a coma, i NEVER check my levels because i know there terrible, i eat whatever i want, i smoke. im a student and i party all the time..... i know thats its bad and i know that its wrong, but i dont care! i want to be a normal 21 year old, all i want is to be normal and forget the last year ever happened.
and i know your prob all thinking im just a stupid woman with no regard for her health, and you'd prob be right, but thats why im here, i need you to tell me that im not alone, that somebody else out there hates this as much as i do. that somebody else is fuc*ing angry at their bodies as much as i am. or at least were at first.
i think that if i feel less alone i wont be as wreckless..... is that insane? am i going insane? i need help....
im so sorry but at this stage i dont know where else to turn.... maybe someone who has the same disease as me would understand what im feeling?

Tai Chi can help control Type 2 diabetes01 April 2008



The martial art of Tai Chi can improve Type 2 diabetes control, say researchers in Taiwan.

Tai Chi combines deep diaphragmatic breathing and relaxation with gentle movement.

The research team, whose work will be published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, assessed the impact of a 12-week programme of Tai Chi exercises on the T helper cell activity of 60 patients of the same age - half with Type 2 diabetes and half without the condition.

T cells are a key component of the body’s immune system, producing powerful chemicals which alter the immune response.

Strenuous vs moderate activity
According to the researchers, strenuous physical activity depresses the immune system response, but moderate exercise seems to have the opposite effect. Tai Chi is classified as moderate exercise.

“This interesting new research further confirms that moderate exercise is vital in effectively managing Type 2 diabetes,” said Cathy Moulton, Care Advisor at Diabetes UK.

"Good diabetes control reduces people’s risk of developing serious complications such as heart disease, stroke and blindness.

How much moderate activity to do daily
“Diabetes UK recommends that people with diabetes do a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on at least five days of the week.

What counts as moderate physical activity?
"Any activity that leaves you feeling warm and slightly breathless but still able to hold a conversation counts as moderate exercise - including vigorously cleaning the house, briskly walking the dog and, of course, Tai Chi.

“In addition to the importance of moderate physical activity, the relaxation element of Tai Chi may help to reduce stress levels, preventing the release of adrenalin which can lead to insulin resistance and high blood glucose levels.”]]> http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/121/ 2008-04-07T03:58:24-07:00 2008-04-09T02:00:17-07:00 Caroline W http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/account/88/

My favorite book, well there are a couple I return to on a regular (annually) basis. I am currently re reading The Lord of The Rings. I thought the films were rubbish, charecters in the wrong places, important events left out. The book is brilliant, I read for the first time in 1976 when the chap that is now my husband lent it to me. Apart from the book being a ripping good yarn, I enjoy the way Tolkein explored language.

I also come back to The Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula Le Guinne about every 18 months or so, and I have just bought The Narnia Chronicals as one volume. My good read for last year was The Black Magicians Triolgy by Trudi Canavan.
