Well, it's official: I am diabetic. Type II, but still.

So in addition to PCOS, hypertension, almost certain hypothyroidism, depression, and anxiety, I am diabetic. I'm on a low carb, low fat, no sugar, low salt diet where I cannot eat: pasta, rice, red meat, eggs, potatoes, corn, beets, carrots, or fried foods.

I'm on 2 new medicines now: Actose and Byetta. One of them is made of lizard saliva or something and is supposed to help control my blood sugar--with nausea as the main side effect. The other one is something to do with the liver and has swelling as a side effect.

I'll be honest, here: I am taking this really, really badly. No one ever said that life was fair, granted. But aren't there people who just eat whatever and excercise sometimes or never, and they're basically ok? Yeah, there are; example: exblogger. We may be breaking up just due to my unreasonable jealousy.

food, diabetes, health
