The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes

The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes: A Patient-Expert Guide for the Newly Diagnosed | Gretchen Becker

Night 3 of sleeping in a hospital chair. They can‘t get the hubs sugar down below 200 and he can‘t come home until it is. So I‘m just gonna sit here and be a grumpy guss until I can sleep in my bed. The Lumberjanes are keeping me company though.

Jess7 I‘m sorry! Thinking of you!! 8y

dariazeoli You‘re allowed to be grumpy. Here‘s hoping things are under control and you‘re both home soon! 🤞🏻 8y

So I‘ve been at the ER with my husband since 3:30
This afternoon. We found out he has Type 2 diabetes and currently has pancreatitis. So we will be here for at least 48 hours. I‘m scared and all I can do is fake that everything‘s okay so the hubby doesn‘t freak out too!!

Jess7 {{{{{hugss}}}}}}} 8y

Texreader Oh no!!! Take care of yourself and hoping he responds well to treatment! 8y

Meeko93 Prayers to you guys 8y

CarolynM All the best to you both 🌷❤️ 8y

DarcysMom Thinking good thoughts for both of you. 🤗🤗🤗 8y

dsfisher Sending prayers and hugs. You can both handle this. Really get the diabetes under control and things will be much better. 8y

GarthRanzz Get him over the pancreatitis and things will be okay. I‘ve been living with Type 2 for over 15 years. Just, as others have said, having some education, lifestyle changes and medication will make living with this okay. I‘ve yet to have to start taking insulin so taking regular medication and watching his diet will help so much. We are all here for you! 🤗 8y

Schlinkles Hope he gets stabilized and can come home soon. Sending positive vibes into the universe. 8y

Eggbeater Hugs to you. My husband is diabetic. I know it is scary, but you're just finding out. Now that you know, you have more control. 8y

CSeydel 💗🙏🏼 8y

DragonAuthors I'm so sorry to hear this, but it will be okay. It's manageable with the right regimen. My grandmother lived well into her 80s with it, and the meds are even better now. 8y

Lreads {{{Hugs}}} I know it's scary and hard but you have each other and will get through this! You are stronger than you think and braver than you believe. 💙 8y

Kaye Hang in there. The not knowing what is wrong is worse . Now that you have the diagnosis , they will be able to effectively treat him, make him feel better again, and soon be on his way to recovery. Try to get some sleep. They will take good care of him. 8y

cobwebmoth Sending positive thoughts and hugs! 8y

quietjenn I hope things are improving. 8y
