- Diabetes can get on top of you when life gets tough. Here, Zena talks about getting help. If you're you’re struggling, we’re here for you. Go to www.diabetes.org.uk/emotions for more stories, advice and information.
It's a struggle no one can understand. The morning sickness, the heavy head feeling, the feeling of not getting out of bed, the uncontrollable cravings, the joint pain, the brain fog that doesn't leave you. So many struggles.
Exactly i want to eat lots of junk foods all the time l honestly dont care anymore i dont like to diet i was used to the normal delicious food. i have shitty parents instead of helping they put me down. i barely have energy to leave my bed. Im dead inside..
I know it's definitely a struggle I crave all the foods that I know I shouldn't be eating so what I do now I spread all my meals apart that way I won't get hungry
@@IbarraAlejandro i on the other hand started to despise food entirely, it stress me out to eat, it stress me out not to eat, i can just chew on dry bread for all i care. theres no point in doing otherwise anyway. for just couple more years of this not-life?
I'm sorry for your struggle. I can relate@@IbarraAlejandro
Yeah my relationship with food has also tanked@@vern5007
I’ve heard so many story’s of the positives. I don’t want to hear what I can be or do, I don’t want to be compared to a “success story”. I just want to cry
Having diabetes is a struggle but I am happy there’s help for our minds.
God bless all of us diabetics, may we always be in His heart
Her story helps me to understand a lot. I have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and for almost two months I have been feeling like I was going crazy. My emotions are all over the place, I've been having panic attacks left & right, crying & stressing about the smallest of things, feeling exhausted all the time & overwhelmed, & I have anxiety now...most of this is new to me. I didn't use to be like this a few months ago...I feel like a totally different person that can't control my emotions. I literally feel like I'm going crazy & need to be in a mental hospital sometimes. Her story helps me to realize that I'm not going crazy out of the blue...all this is new to me. I had no idea that depression, anxiety and panic attacks, along with a host of other things are associated or can be accompanied with diabetes. Thank you for this video. I really feel like I'm not alone
I'm sorry to hear that! I was diagnosed in 2020, I had covid and got diagnosed with diabetes the same day on thanksgiving day, I just left a comment saying this after almost 3 years I feel better but somedays are harder than others and this is what I wrote "Even after watching the video, I still feel lonely at times, it is very frustrating to live with this decease and it's harder when people don't understand how you feel and why, they think you're overreacting and say "it's not that hard, with a healthy diet you're going to feel so much better" every time I feel sad, down and lonely, I come here to listen to her story." All I can say is everything you're feeling is normal, sugar levels can mess with your emotions... and believe me you're not alone, I can't say I was happy with my life but I was fine, when I was diagnosed everything changed. Sometimes I want to punch the wall, others I want to cry, others my body feels tired, like I have a fever, it is crazy! I've been skinny my whole life and still got it, It doesn't matter if I do diet and I eat healthy sometimes I still feel bad, but I'm alive and that has to count for something. what helps me is doing breathing exercises, taking cinnamon pills and trying my best to relax and it is important to press that pause button at least for an hour and let our minds think about something else.
@@yoyito2020reading your comment really gave me goosebumps bc I've been going through everything you described for a while now but haven't gotten my blood work checked! I'm going to get tested next week but I just wanted to thank you bc your comment really helped me figure this out ❤
I am glad for this video because most diabetics experience real depression…
So true I’m a diabetic no one understands unless they have it.You can eat the same things everyday and still have a hypo then not the next day it’s very frustrating.It’s constantly on your mind everyday

I recently got diagnosed and it’s so hard I’m so scared and tired it’s so fucking hard and exaughsting my life has changed in an instant
Hey I've had it since I was about 4
Trust me it's hard but it gets so much better
Somethings don't change but some do for the better
@@ember4836 it hasnt got any better for me i suffer like a rat lts painful sooner or later l'll start eating again a lot of junk food at least before i die. Especially when l was used to the normal food. not diet
@@IbarraAlejandroHi there, I was diagnosed last year and it frustrates me too. What many doctors don’t tell us, is that balance is the key: if you eat like a rabbit, it’s possible to go hypo. If you eat too much junk= hyper.
What helps me is to just watch carb intake or eat Mediterranean style( salmon, veggies, fruit, olive oil, etc) but I indulge from time to time because we still need joy!
On a weekly basis my numbers are no longer type 2 but in pre diabetes range now. This may not help every single person, but just remember moderation. That’s what my nutritionist said.
This video demonstrates to me exactly why I just carry on with my life as normal and shut it completely out of my mind because if I didn't I wouldn't get anything done or live my life, I still eat and drink whatever I want when I want but I still follow Slimming World religiously. Do I still wake up with head or neck aches most mornings, yes, do I still go lightheaded or dizzy at times and have a bad dry cough most days, yes, but if it's not stopping me from doing things then I choose to ignore it, mind over matter, and I already know I'm doing all the right things day in day out otherwise wouldn't feel so healthy
Ever since the GDM educatior appointed by hospital failed to give me assistant but only said if I don't control it right I would need insulin injection, it gave me so much anxiety every time I do my test. It's really good to know that I'm not alone in this journey.
I’m sorry you had that experience! Diabetics require compassion and motivation. Keeping things realistic and joyful can happen at the same time. I am a Type 2 Diabetic and adopted a Mediterranean style of eating but occasionally I do treat myself because we still need joy. Or at least joy while eating. Be sure to exercise 15 -30 minutes per day and take meds as prescribed. Three people in my support group reversed their type 2 doing those very things.
Been diabetic for 37 years, when first diagnosed, would test regularly and go to clinic, would have hypos almost daily....it almost ruled my life, I couldn't do anything without thinking about consequences of not having my insulin etc, saw numerous doctors , nothing really worked for me, they would get me to do months of tests, look at the 1st page of results and increase dosage by 3 units then next month decrease by 3 units, in the end , I just gave up, thought there was something unique with my body that meant it was difficult to control and honestly , I didn't want to live life as a science experiment. When I was approx 22 , I just made the decision to not let it rule my life, I have done many things I wouldn't have done if I was seriously trying to control it, I never test, take same dosage for the last 20 years, and just do what I like, I know I will probably get complications, but would rather have 60 lived years than 70 years that were like I had a shackle round my ankle....
You give me hope...I'm 31 and I found out I'm diabetic 3 days ago,it's been the worst 3 days of my life...I can't cope mentally, I feel ashamed of myself, I cry most days...I just don't know what to do
@@dennieshagodson3339 looking back to when I was diagnosed, I was initially relieved that I found out that there was actually something wrong with me, I spent 1 year , sick as you can be , I remember lying down in the school corridor because I felt so sick I was going to faint and my doctor had not found anything wrong with me, luckily when I went the last time, my normal doctor was not there and I saw a new doctor who diagnosed it straight away, I was starting to think that I had a mental condition because I felt so bad and my normal doctor said there was nothing wrong....I struggled with it when I was first diagnosed but, slowly, I felt healthier and was truely thankful for that. There isn't much you can do about it and slowly worked out my life to cope with it. I never let it stop me doing things I wanted to do, I hated people treating me like an invalid and stopped telling people I was a diabetic as they treated you like you were about to die or something. I told my family and best friends but kept it to that. It has got better as I have got older but at least you didn't have to live through your teens etc which was tough for me..... taking it 1 day at a time and not worrying about it long term was an approach t that I found worked for me, you can control it in the moment and that's the approach I took....
Loved ones would never understand this but I do. Life is for living.
Thank you for this. It is so hard sometimes and you never get a break. And people around you don't really understand. I'm really struggling with my diabetes and mental health at the moment. I know I need to ring my diabetes educator but I d it feels so hard to do.

I'm in Australia. But since I made this comment I have reconnected with my Diabetes Educator. Thanks for your support.
Same here.. feeling overwhelmed and defeated. Tomorrow is a new day.
same here. People just dont understand what im going through here very day, constant blood testing, what to eat, hope i dont get a hypo in the night. just feel like crying and screaming most days. i hate it so much
I had diabetic challenges all of my life and my family refuses to understand how horrible it has made me feel and unfortunately they invite me to parties and harass me as being mentally ill. Good Luck! I went no contact.
No contact does help a lot until you feel u r ready. Doesn’t matter how long it takes
That sucks to hear. I have been diabetic for 4 years now and its only in the last year that I have really began to understand how hard it is to keep everything under control. I hope you are managing well.
@@davogrady I am diabetic for 7 years and it is quite horrible to keep up with the same theme all day and night, suddenly when I forgot I have diabetes, a pinch of cracker around my ear strike, you have diabetes, and again I have to reconsider my life management with diabetes management, and other's laugh at me you are so thin don't that extra amount of weight, they don't understand with what phase we diabetics go in our life. Only say no one get this chronic diaorder in their life.
I know a man and his dad who already had type 2 Diabetes at the time who couldn't understand why I didn't like it when for example they were busy until the wee hours of the morning making sausages sometimes while I and their infant child or grandchild wA trying to sleep. His son who probable later was pre-diabetic too couldn't understand why I objected to his friends dropping by every now and then at 11 pm at night on a weekday while expecting to come in for tea being served by me. I was always being treated like only a maid for them instead of having the right to set the rules in my own kitchen too.

Even after watching the video, I still feel lonely at times, it is very frustrating to live with this and people don't understand how you feel and why, they think you're overreacting and say "it's not that hard, with a healthy diet you're going to feel so much better" every time I feel sad, down and lonely, I come here to listen to her story.
Same here my dear friend, how much hard we can go, it still disguising us, diabetes is what only a diabetic can explain. How our mood swings, how we feel lonely even with others around us, how one say you are diabetic, it will be alright, stay focused eat healthy , in country like india, you won't even suffer with dibetes with unemployment and poor health facilities and without psychological support it is very very much difficult for us to live.
thats exactly how i feel, people just dont understand the hell i go through every day here, its so frustrating and i do my best, but my diabetic doc is always on my case.
@@traceymayo1583 It’s ok, please know you’re not alone and you’re not the only one who’s having a hard time with this, it is a normal thing to feel this way when you have diabetes. If your doctor makes you feel guilty or bad about it in my humble opinion, you need to switch doctors, I was in the same place as you and my first endocrinologist was very lazy and didn’t really care about my health at all and now the second one is much better and she doesn’t judge me like the other Doctor did, I’m skinny and was healthy at least half of my life and still got type 2 the doctors didn’t believe it at first because I was so skinny and you know they always blame the weight and let me tell you, that’s a lie! Losing weight can help of course, but I hate the stigma around Diabetes Type 2. The hardest part is the mood swings and I 100% feel what you feel, I’ve been feeling suicidal and that’s not good but now I know why I’ve been feeling this way and it’s all because of my diabetes. I hope you feel better soon, tbh we just have to learn to live with it because we’re never gonna get used to it, it is very hard not gonna lie but we can do it. Don’t not let anybody make you feel like your condition isn’t serious, because it is and it can mess with your whole body. If you ever feel the need to talk, I’m here. Feel better 🤗
@@AnkushKumar-dp9gq I’m sorry. It is a real struggle and I’m always having a hard time too but it makes me happy that you took the time to leave a comment, that way I feel less alone. Thank you for that and I hope you feel better! We just gotta learn how to live with it and understand that what we’re feeling is completely normal. 😊 Let’s eat healthy and try our best to keep it down.
@@yoyito2020 Thank you, thats nice to know :) and I hope have better days too x
This video really helped me out. I'm 19 and I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when I was only 18(I know it's not common at all ) so It was terrible at the moment and yeah, I too have the same feelings. sometimes it's really hard to continue when you haven't heard of or seen anyone who's relatable to you. but with this video, although we are not at the exact same point, something in the clip motivate or planted something positive in me after a long time. so thank you so much for that and I am trying the best to get back again to the path in which I was dreaming to live two years back
Reverse your diabetes. Step 1. Green juice for 3 days with a big bowl salad with nuts and grains. Step 2. Go plant based.
@@African.Diaspora.InLondonUK Thank you. Actually I am following a similar diet and it has helped a lot. I hope l would be able to reverse diabetes soon.
Get tested for lada
Type 2 here also just so over the constant worry of what to eat having that be your main thought all day and not caring about being happy anymore ...this is not living life its just a nightmare !!

I’m 27 I got diagnosed in 2023 but I tried to forgot about it and never started treatment or anything until last month. My A1C was a 7.5 with fasting. Im grieving the body I once had and I’m angry at older folks always saying you’re young you’ll be fine cuz clearly I’m not fine!!! I’m angry because I never thought I would be here. I don’t even eat unhealthy but still! My dad has it and I’m the only sibling out of 8 that got it. Why me???
@@estrellaharris5359my parents and sister don’t have it, yet I was the one working out after work when I could and eating sugar free stuff mostly.. then I was diagnosed😢 I did pick up a sweet tooth six months before diagnosis…
I totally understand…
This disease SUCK
Thank you for this. I can relate to exactly what she is saying.
HI, i can relate to everything you have just said. I've been type 1 since 1985 I've never really been able to switch off from it. The one and only thing that helped me was doing 7 or 8 blood tests a day. Take care, Tony. uk

I have type two diabetes since September sixth of 2017. I still struggle with it as there is so much to manage, too much to think about especially when I am trying to live a life pleasing to God. I just found out things are getting worse which is scaring me, so I know your feelings. You are not alone in this fight against diabetes. If I think I’m doing right, things get worse and I struggle to manage it. My numbers went above 400 in glucose which caused me to be anxious and had a panic attack. Your video is helping me realize I’m not alone. Thanks for your great video.

Sorry to hear this! I made my favorite unleavened bread a few weeks ago, forgetting about my diabetes and my numbers soared to 300😢 this was upsetting as my numbers haven’t been in the 300s since last year. I was mad at God… I mean “ Lord… you couldn’t heal me for one day to eat communion bread?” 😠 yeah, this disease is testing faith
Got word I've gotten it 3 years ago, T2, albeit very mild...which is in line with my father's side and relatives in their 80s have had it for 40+ years.
Still...the anxiety from the sugar fluctuations that I'm going to pass out and die, etc etc, and that's only from mild T2. I can't imagine the insanity those who have full T2 must contend with other than I listen to them because I've had a few small tastes of it and it is true...if you haven't truly felt it, then it's difficult to articulate to others who don't.
do you know the fact the fear, frustration and worry are the cause of diabetes more the main culprits is your personality, change your personality into positive you can reverse it, be happy and make other happy
I have type 1 diabetes, I found out on New Years Eve. We were planning on going out for tea but I had to stay in hospital for 3 days.
1 year has passed and still i question myself. Have i accepted diabetes. Do i even like myself. Is it even worth living. I only bring distraut to ma. I always make her regret the fact that i am her son.
At 30th september of 2020:
Today i had a low sugar which was 39. A very very very very had sugar level. To deal with it i am suppose to intake sugar and bring it more than 150. I didnt do that as ma was preparing lemon rice for me to have. My mother does not stop. She does ll the effort to make me be safe and due to that fact she was preparing lemon rice.
Here i was in my mind like i will take lots of sugar and sleep. But ma was preparing food. Which i am suppose to eat and then take injectiom and now i have another chance of eother high or low becuase i m reinjecting myself.
Things went bad i ate food then i cried alot.
I cried at the fact that. It would be better if i didnt exist. If i did not exist my mother would be happy somewhere else. She woudnt have to sufder with me. Each day she has stress regarding my sugar leve i wish i died and she could live normally.
My maa does so much for me. While in return i just hurt her. I have learnt nothing from my diabetes. I may as well not have accepted it. I just wish i died. I wish i was never born.
Each day i act all crazy happy never giving up attitude. But does my mother know that this is all an act. Each day i fee like slitting my throat. Each say i feel like cutting my wrists
I personally pray to god for my death. But still i am not dead. I am not dead. Why doesnt god just take my life. I can tlive another day in this painful world. I dont have a doabetic friend who i can reach out and ask for guidance. My soctor does not even reply properly.

Yh I shell send this to my sister In law who says all you have to do is take insulin & thats it.

Right bro it's hard
I have had it for years and i just cant accept it. I try and i have panic attacks and severe anxiety. I call the diabetic clinic and cant answer when they call. Now i still cant face it, no doctor helps me get past this because they just get angry with me so i dont tell them the mental struggle and tbh i dont think i care. I also cant afford to have it. I am at the point i cant afford to test my blood nor can i afford the amount of insulin or jardiance which has helped but so expensive and i have heart problems. I either pay rent bill and food or be a diabetic with heart medications. It is one or the other but cant be both anymore.

This world/ nation is horrible towards diabetics. It’s genetic and environmental. In fact, the food pyramid is janky. Promoting carbs and now type 2’s pay for it with bad health. Poor type 1’s… my heart goes out to all diabetics.

this is literally word for word my life
@@diabetesuk thank you for your kind words...currently I'm trying my best to not focus on my negatives...my negatives pop up here and there, causing me to loose my cool and eventually breakdown, but I am able to cope up, but It still is a struggle...I'm trying to rewrite myself to be a better human being. I have started to view anime and I made it my hobby as anime is one way for me to not focus on my negatives...even though I'm trying to run away from the negatives...I should try and deal with them...having this notion...I have decided to journal my thoughts and understand where, when and why do I feel these.
Currently I hate the way I'm living, I'm suppose to study so that I can take all the burden of the property which will be only passed to me if I am eligible, well I already have stress of education at the age of 15.
Currently I always get this notion of trying to isolate myself from loved ones and try to hurt them...while being in that mindstate I pretty much loose the feeling of self love, self empathy, I just become another person.
But still...I have decided...I have to turn things around, I want to be able to meet other diabetics and laugh with them, cry with them...I don't want my story to be a child had diabetes and he killed himself...I don't want that to be the end....I want and I will do my best to turn this around.
A very happy new year in adavance.

@@veerabhadraprasadr9886 i know this was a while ago but I hope you are doing better. Don’t think that way please because I understand you I also have diabetes and i wish I never had it either and I also don’t have any diabetic friends but don’t let diabetes define you and I know it can be hard sometimes especially being low or high, or you can’t eat what you want because I feel the same it sucks and I hate being low and high because when I’m low I start to feel sick i’ve been having diabetes for 5/6 years now but I don’t let it bother me just live your life like I said I can understand you. If you ever feel down for having diabetes or feel that you are bothering your mom talk to her. Also whenever people say I can’t have this or that and they make it seem like they feel bad for me I don’t like that tbh I just want to be looked at normally But please do not think that way. You are loved and the reason why God hasn’t taken you from this earth is because he obviously wants you here still. Have a good day and if you need someone to talk to i’m here because I can completely understand you.
People make fun of me for diabetes. They say it’s my fault. They call me a sugar munching bastard and say it’s no big deal
They are fool my dear, because God gives difficult problems to his tough participants, , the people who laugh at you are not the choice of God bcz he knew if I have gave to them they will die with in one day, you are a champion and live like a champion, it's not your fault that you have diabetes, but you can beat it😍, you are a champion my dear friend 😍
@@AnkushKumar-dp9gq thank you.may god bless you
@@milanacs1916 same to you my dear friend and promise me, you will never loose hope, problem always come with an opportunity, who knows the next day we wake up and there is a news of cure, so this world is full of miracle, never never never give up, 😍
That’s a insensitive comment. You’re not alone and I’ve been there too. Imagine people telling me “you used to eat a lot of candy that’s why you have it, stop eating candy” just to later say “but you’re too skinny to have it” just imagine my pain we all go through and don’t forget, you’re not alone. It’s fine, people are ignorants and we have to teach them how diabetes and how the pancreas work. Don’t pay attention to stupid comments.
@@yoyito2020 yeah you are right but I still plan on committing suicide today.Stay safe
This disease never stops.
It is a ticking Time bomb waiting to go off in your body. You will not beat it it will beat you. I will cry with you.
Omg this is me but in the USA. I’m sick of this crap. It’s like you can’t win so why keep trying
I suggest you watch simply raw reversing diabetes in 30 days complete on youtube. It helped my friend reverse it. If you can commit to it for most people
1 year has passed and still i question myself. Have i accepted diabetes. Do i even like myself. Is it even worth living. I only bring distraut to ma. I always make her regret the fact that i am her son.
At 30th september of 2020:
Today i had a low sugar which was 39. A very very very very had sugar level. To deal with it i am suppose to intake sugar and bring it more than 150. I didnt do that as ma was preparing lemon rice for me to have. My mother does not stop. She does ll the effort to make me be safe and due to that fact she was preparing lemon rice.
Here i was in my mind like i will take lots of sugar and sleep. But ma was preparing food. Which i am suppose to eat and then take injectiom and now i have another chance of eother high or low becuase i m reinjecting myself.
Things went bad i ate food then i cried alot.
I cried at the fact that. It would be better if i didnt exist. If i did not exist my mother would be happy somewhere else. She woudnt have to sufder with me. Each day she has stress regarding my sugar leve i wish i died and she could live normally.
My maa does so much for me. While in return i just hurt her. I have learnt nothing from my diabetes. I may as well not have accepted it. I just wish i died. I wish i was never born.
Each day i act all crazy happy never giving up attitude. But does my mother know that this is all an act. Each day i fee like slitting my throat. Each say i feel like cutting my wrists
I personally pray to god for my death. But still i am not dead. I am not dead. Why doesnt god just take my life. I can tlive another day in this painful world. I dont have a doabetic friend who i can reach out and ask for guidance. My soctor does not even reply properly.

@@wisdomandlove1661 are u nuts. We have type 1 not tyoe 2. Type 2 is reversible and type 1 is not reversible. Please dont give false hope. Already its depressing to have t1d
@@veerabhadraprasadr9886 hey there brother, i know its difficult. Im sorry you have to deal with it. Diabetes has had me in a few bad spots recently, with anxiety issues and fear mounting up and taking over. I know its difficult, I know its horrible. But this life is our only shot. Diabetes is tough, but you deserve to give yourself a shot at life. There's so much in this world to love and experience, and I know diabetes may make those things harder to see, but they're still there. It is a battle, facing diabetes, but you can do it. You are not burdening anyone by having diabetes, you are not a hindrance, and most of all, you are still deserving of all the wonderful experiences life can give. Ive been type one for 8 years, and as tough as it can be, I know it will get better. If stress is too much, talk it out with someone. Best of wishes friend, keep pushing forward. I promise you there are many good things to come. Cheers ✌
@@veerabhadraprasadr9886 type 2 is not reverseable it just a myth I feel like you do.
Surly she can do without Insulin if she adjusts are diet as she as Type 2 not Type 1 ??
Hi Glenn, some people with type 2 diabetes need insulin if the pancreas starts producing less and less natural insulin over time or the natural insulin is not working correctly. We have further information on our main website here: www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/managing-your-diabetes/treating-your-diabetes/insulin/type-2-diabetes 💙
What about a person who is suffering from both more than one undiagnosed chronic disease besides undiagnosed type 2 pre-Diabetic and who has survived Cancer too almost a decade ago during his 20's while he is at the time recovering from an occupational injury too which included a head injury leaving him with post concussion syndrome as well while he thinks he has to remain the never being unchallenged head of his family always? Seems to me trying to remain his live in wife who must look after their infant children too at the same time would be too much for most of us wouldn't it? However after I went away with our infant children for awhile to give him enough time and space to sort all that out with his medical health team who could help him do that while I was away instead more than one much younger woman than me along with more than one lawyer of his too thought it wouldn't be too much for them one at a time while I was living apart from him which I continue to do. That began in the year 1999. How we have all managed to live through all that including him is beyond me. All I know for sure is that I am too tired anymore to be around anyone who is controlling for very long. I don't have enough patience anymore to do so. Like since then when 2 policemen who showed up on my doorstep once at the wrong address while looking for someone soon after I moved into my home. While I knew that no one with that name has ever lived in this house which that former husband of mine has never lived in. Or like another couple of policemen this time along with a nurse and the social worker too whom I had only agreed ahead of time to see; All who showed up at my door some of them again uninvited 3 years later to ask me some very private personal questions only doctors ask most of the time AFTER COVID-19 rules have already been eased and AFTER I had already booked the only routine follow up appointments that were recommended by my family doctor just days prior. If none of them had refused to leave my house after around their 15 minute walk around my place while I was answering their questions how many of us could remain altogether patient and submissive enough in their presence to not in the least appear annoyed in any way shape or form or to ask them to leave including the social worker who had marched right into my kitichen without asking me first just so he could check out what was on my stove for dinner after he had showed up for my appointment with hiim 2 hours late? I hope I am not getting Diabetes too next however you just never know.
Oh and the foods i a supposed to eat are awful. I can not eat avocados or sweet potatoes and too many of the healthy greens put my stomach into pain
