Diabetes Symptoms Weblog

Hello, everyone. I already ‘know’ several of you.
For those I haven’t met, my name is Dona and I am a
type 2. I was diagnosed about 7 years ago. I’m on
meds, but insulin is probably in my near future.<br
joined because I am convinced that even though we all
have to ultimately deal with this disease in our own
ways, we do share a lot of the same feelings. And I
think that some of the feelings- like the depression
that a lot of diabetics have to cope with are part of
the physiology of the disease. Sure, having diabetes
would depress anyone, but I think the chemical changes
in our bodies enhance the depression. I really think
a lot of those of you who don’t have diabetes but
who are out there working to understand the disease.
So often our family and friends don’t really ‘get

it.’ Glad to be here. -Dona
