do your parents still ask you if you've found anyone yet? Does your family question you lifestyle?

What about kids - those adults that just can't imagine their parents "dating" much less having sex?

How do handle these situations?


Well my parents are both gone so I don't have to worry about questions.
I don't have any kids.
And the rest of my family could care less about me or my lifestyle --I'm the rebel and blacksheep.

Yes, I'm very blessed to have friends who are there for me right now as I go through one of the hardest times in my life this year. I don't know what I would have done without them.

I just learned on the American Diabetes Association web site that stress can cause one's blood sugar to go up...

whew...

I am under a LOT of stress as a college student to constantly get grades posted, projects turned in... papers written... tests are usually timed...

I had no idea stress was linked to high blood glucose readings

Anyone else ever here of this?

There was another term associated with this called a "Liver Dump"... in normal people (without Diabetes) when their bloood sugar drops normally, the liver will dump glucose into the blood stream... it is sort of like the body's own thermostat... In Diabetic, this "thermostat" doesn't quite work right and sugar can be dumped into the blood stream when it isn't needed...

The high stress levels can cause a "Liver Dump".... causeing high blood glucose readings



Yes, stress does affect blood sugar. Since I've been out of work I really have to watch my diet as well as the STRESS levels. This year has kicked my ass with being out of work for so long and worrying about my future and finances.
Also be aware with stress comes blood pressure problems. Six years ago, my doctor put me on pressure meds. I am now no longer taking meds for that either. He's not big on meds if medical problems can be controlled with diet. He's told me many times I am one of his exceptions; he has many patients who do not take care of themselves.
Please take care of yourself and try to minimize your stress TM.:wink:

I'm also Phase 2; I've had it since I'm 10 yrs old (now 54). My niece who is 21 is also Phase 2. She is med free now by following diet and doctors. I am med free also. I follow a diet and know what I can and cannot have.
Just be careful with infections and cuts. It takes me twice as long to get over colds, flu and regular infections than any of my friends.
It's life changing; but if you do what you are supposed to you can live a happy life.
Good luck to you and stay strong.:smile: flowers
