my fears

I have been a type 2 diabetic since 7 May 2004 and you would think I would be more settled in with my condition. Actually, I was. From 2004 to about 2008 I was gradually getting calmer. Then, I was reasonably calm and working out and trying to lose weight from around 2008 to 2009. It was in mid 2009 that I started getting far more concerned about having to start injecting anti-diabetic drugs.

I was quite relieved when Dr. Hostetler told me in November 2009 that I was good to go with pills. Now, I look at the weekly scores and that I'm not losing any weight and I am once again afraid that I'll end up on the damned injected drugs. I fear injected drugs since such things are the last step in full acceptance of being diabetic and there is no where to go once I am on the needle.

Shit!
