hello.. Im a 23 year old female and my husband has just been diagnosed with diabetes. He's only 24. Im a little scared as to how were suppose to adjust to a completly diffrent way of living overnite. I'm becoming depressed and unsure if we can handle this type of change. We have a 5 year old son and a 2 year old son and Im worried that because my husband has it they might acquire it also. Im also $ months pregnant and very stressed out. My husbands blood glucose was 612 when we arrived @ the hospital # days ago and they cant seem to get it lower than 160.. and it shoots right back up.. I dont know how to handle such a big lifestyle change @ such a young age.. Any suppot groups out there..???? oh and we dont have any health insurance so i dont know how we will afford his medication.. Is there anywhere i can go for help in miami, fl... i love him and dont want to loose him to this condition..

Talk to your husband's
Talk to your husband's physician. Tell him about your concerns.Ask to speak to the hospital nutritionist; there are free classes you can take about how to shop and how to cook.You can do this. My mom was diagnosed with diabetes when I was a kid, and she's in her late 80s.It's not that hard, really. You absolutely can do this--and it's going to be better for you, and for your children, too.
