| Speaking for myself, I think I was teetering on that pre-diabetic type 2 edge and didn't know it. Major stress and upheavel in my world tipped me over the edge right into the big D.
Looking at buddy7's list...I hit 5 of those bang on in March...by April I was diagnosed with type 2. Hmmm....so now throw in selling the farm (at least I'm not buying it!), and then looking for a house in town.
Did I mention I work for a board of 14 directors...all politicians? That has it's stressful moments, but not all the time.
So along about May, when the stress meter was going through the roof I finally just threw up my hands in the air...and said "ok - do your worst - cause none of this is going to beat me!"
So now I'm puttering along, painting, packing, gardening and going to work. Things will either get done or they won't, the important thing in my world right now is learning all I can about diabetes. One of the hardest things has been learning to ask for help and accept it. When people have said "is there anything I can do"...I'm taking them up on it. Whether it's just bringing home a jug of milk so I don't have to make the run to town.
