im not doing any better and i avoid my doctor so that i dont have to lie and tell them that i take my meds when i dont i think its because i dont want to act sick or be sick like i know i have it and i know its there and its not going away unless i do somthing about it but i cant seem to bring myself to commit to getting better its gotten to the point where i know when my sugars are really really high, i can feel it...my boyfriend and i are very overweight and i wasnt overweight until i got with him then i started eating like him so just got fat just like him i dont no what to do i have tried to focus and stay on my meds as perscribed test my sugars and eat right but i give in waay too easily and eat mcdonalds and almost every other fast food u can think of thats how my boyfriend eats and he is how i got started with the shit like i dont wanna blame him for anything but its like"hey babe lets go to jack in the box..." and im like "i dont no babe i cant you no i wanna but i shouldnt" him "ok well this will be the last time and we can get salads..." so i give in and we go and how the fuck am i supposed to get a salad when i have an ultimate cheeseburger in my fuckin face?? so i get what he gets and thats how it always goes
and i cant cook not like not able cant but like i suck cant and so if i dont go out to eat with him i dont eat at all and i dont no what to do

hey. first off im so sorry to hear about this.
i know its probably really frustrating.
but honestly, its nothing to be ashamed off.
becuase you didnt choose to have this.
but honestly, im a HUGE DIE HARD JONAS BROTHERS FAN! and if you dont know, a member, nick jonas, has type 1 diabetes. and i honestly think if you watch his video when he announces his diabetes at a diabetes fundraiser you will think differently about having diabetes.
just look up on youtube.com 'nick jonas diabetes speech' and watch the video. it brings me to tears each time.
he also stated before about his diabetes, "at first i thought, why me? but then i thought why NOT me" becuase he wants to show to kids that it isnt anything to be ashamed of. you just have to embrace life fully and keep MOVING forward as he says it.
also i went to their concert last friday and at every concert he does a diabetes speech.
he even wrote a song for it. its called 'a little bit longer' i will give you the lyrics at the end of this. but here is what he said at the concert and i truly believe this can help you by watching reading, listening to everything ive given you.
"As some of may or may not know, this song was written about something really close to my heart. You know sometimes life brings out its complications and some hardships, but you know, it's how we deal with them that counts. And I know that each and every single one of you in this audience tonight has been through a hard time in your life before, right? I know that each and every one of you have felt, at one point, like you couldn't go on. But then you found hope. There's always some way to find hope. Remember that. There was a time in my life when I got diagnosed with diabetes, and I thought that I'm not gonna be able to live my dream, getting to do what I wanna do. That was three years ago. And I can say, today, that I played for 12,000 people in Chicago. That happened 'cause I found hope. How many of you people in this audience tonight need to find hope? How many of you need to find a friend? And how many of you need to feel some peace? Well like I said, that's what this song is about. And tonight, this song.... this song is for you. This song is for every broken heart tonight, and for every broken dream... for every high and for every low. Don't ever forget it. Now, what I want you to do now is, if you know the words to this song, I want you to sing with all... with all your heart and with all your soul. 'Cause something happens when 12,000 people come together and sing a song. Alright? Now this song is for this generation, and this generation is gonna sing it out."
- Nick Jonas
a little bit longer lyrics ::
Got the news today
But they said I had to stay
A little bit longer and I'd be fine
When I thought it'd all be done
When I thought it'd all been said
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low
And everytime you smile, you laugh, you glow
You don't even know, know, know
You don't even know
All this time goes by
Still no reason why
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
Waitng on a cure
But none of them are sure
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low
And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow
You don't even know, know, know
You don't even know, know, know
You don't even know, know
2, 3, 4
But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low, yeah
And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow
You don't even know, Know! Yeah! Whoa!
So I'll wait 'til kingdom come
All the highs and lows are gone
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
I'll be fine
and im really sorry of you dont like the jonas brothers. or if your a jonas hater.
but no matter what, you should really watch the video and read the lyrics and what he said.
becuse i truley believe it will make you relaize that its not as bad as you think. or at least help you live your life as if you didnt have it.
and please take your medicine. i know you dont wanna feel like your sick, but it can truly help you! if you ever need anyhting, just ask. and ill help you no matter what. or send stuff to my inbox and ill give you my aim or something.
i hope this helped. and good luck!
xoxo

Hey.
My sister and dad have type 1 diabetes, which is a little different than your case.
But anyway. My dad's friend has type 2 diabetes, and he decided not to really take care of himself(which is what you are doing). He got diagnosed several several years back-and neglected his blood sugar, and ate junk all the time. He did not excercise either. His neglection of diabetes has forced him in a wheel chair, circulatory problems so he cant walk , and because of the lack of excercise now has severe heart problems. It scares me that someone else is starting to live their life the way he did-because I know what the outcome can unfortunatly be. Just get motivated!
Make a calender- that has a food schedule and excercise schedule. Also- v8 fruit juice or vegetable juice is actually pretty healthy.
Hope I helped, and good luck.
