diabetes Newly Diagnosed With Diabetes-i Hate This!

[halos2]

So no sooner filing claims, secondary related condition claims and then in the last few weeks WHAM-Diabetes diagnosed. B)

Come on...where is my break?

So now the question is/ or questions are/ Do I put in my claim for Diabetes-secondary to PTSD or HTN or Fibromyalgia or HNP(DDD) or what?

Plus HNP is at remand at my VARO from BVA; HTN and FIBRO just went to the rater today; and now this!!

I also have one that is in limbo for tinnitus, hearing loss and TDIU that has been sitting there at the VARO for a couple of years gathering dust!

I told my pain dr about my new diag and I thought he was gonna cry...he said "Oh my God I am soooo sorry for you, that is just terrible!"

As if I didn't feel bad/upset enough. I know it's bad but it is not a death sentence!

Worked so many years through the pain/anguish and now all systems are breaking down through the turmoils...TOO MUCH FREAKIN STRESS FROM THE VA!

This is blowing all of my immunity/psyche/mobility/circulatory/hormonal systems all within a short period of time.

A couple of weeks of accu-chek's 4-6 times daily have made my fingers very uncomfortable...they might have to give me a unit of blood at the VA as all this I've been extracting...sick joke here...not enough blood lost

Well I guess I have to look for my abilities/good/traits/positive thoughts? I'm still breathing

Get rid of the finger poker and get a One Touch meter. I hate needles. I can use my meter on my forearms and it does not hurt.

Two ways to handle DMII, ignore it and suffer from the condition or get busy with control and have a good life. Terry

I will adhere to diet regimens. Po(oral) medication ordered. My readings were very inaccurate when I used forearm, thigh, upper arm, so my valid readings were with finger sticks.

Diabetes was not my speciality however as an RN I know the disease process and what I am supposed to do. I appreciate your feedback Terry, and glad to see you posting again. Thanks again.

No one is immune to being diagnosed with difficult diseases/disorders/conditions. Shock value is difficult, though.

Thanks for your concerns too Carlie C.
