Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well!

I thought that maybe we all could catch up and talk about what's new in our lives. It has been stressful lately with everything happening in the world.

But how have you been? Any plans for the upcoming summer? How was your Easter? Let's talk and support each other!

Take care,

Terrible, found my trigger weight where everything falls to pieces, even confirmed my blood vessels are bursting at the back of an eyes. Together with froth in my pee and a few other signs I must diet or suffer the dreaded needle. My cousin just having his second leg off and my younger brother lost some of his toes but did have his cataracts done the pressure is on to get the weight off. My wife is killing me with her large meals and kindness, even my daughter is producing extra meals for me to try her cooking. So facing blindness I think I have the motivation, even my mouth filled with infections is telling me something, it is up to me!

Hello @robjmckinney!

How are you feeling today? I am very sorry to hear about everything that is happening to you now. I am glad to hear that you have the motivation to fight for your health. I hope it gets better.

I will leave some resources that might be helpful:

Samaritans. To talk about anything that is upsetting you, you can contact Samaritans 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can call 116 123 (free from any phone).

Diabetes UK Helpline. The helpline number is 0345 123 2399. It is a dedicated diabetes helpline for all people with diabetes, their family or friends.

I wish you all the best,

Take care
