It's been a while since I have posted on General Discussion. A lot going on with the kids and just life in general (and, really did anyone even know I was gone anyway).

My wife has been having some usunusal health issues lately so she went to her doctor today and they did a blood sugar test. Her blood sugar was really high and that combined with the symptoms led to a probable diabetes diagnosis. My wife is going to see another doctor next week but I have done a lot of internet research on this and she appears to have a lot of symptoms of diabetes.

She's sad and I am just angry. It's just not fair. My wife had gestational diabetes in her pregnancy last year but that usually doesn't lead to regular diabetes right away. My wife thought there might be a chance she would get it eventually but not in her early 30s. I am going through every stage for her, denial, anger, all the rest. I know diabetes is not a death sentence, I know a lot of people out there have a lot of things that are a lot worse, but I hate this for her so much.

So we'll wait for the other doctor next week but our spirits are not too high right now. My wife makes me so sad when she says she prayed that this wouldn't happen because she has a strong sense of faith and I wouldn't want that to be shaken. But it does feel right now that we have wronged some cosmic force because nothing is going right. Well we do have two wonderful beautiful daughters and they are our pride and joy but life satisfaction, between the money problems we are having and the recent health situation, is pretty low.

I have diabetes in my family so I know a little about it. My aunt died from complications of diabetes. This whole disease is frightening to me. If anyone has diabetes or a loved one with diabetes, I would love to hear how you handle it, how it affects daily life, etc.

Thanks, guys. Feels good to write this down if nothing else.
