Diabetes CTB

[Bruceleelives1969]

Anyone who has diabetes and want to CTB? WHY?

I have diabetes and neuropathy and want to CTB;

 

[SHThrowAway213]

I don't have diabetes yet, I have prediabetes.
I also have chronic gastris, Dyspraxia, PTSD and BPD.
My Mum, Dad, Uncle, Nan and Great Nan all have diabetes

I have well-controlled diabetes (although maybe not so much anymore, but side-effects or complications). It has nothing to do with me wanting to CTB. Diabetes just means you have to be healthy... and that's not a bad thing

Interesting thing about diabetes. So almost 3 years ago I was in a hospital bed having my last rights read to me, being told I could likely die. To make a very long story short they thought I had type 2 diabetes and all kinds of other stuff. Few weeks later I was fine, no diabetes or anything else. Almost 3 years later, and many more odd health issues in between, they suddenly decide to check my pancreas due to a massive health decline. Riddled with tumors, in my bile duct also. Had previous issues there also. Yep, I am screwed.

Moral of the story? If you have sugar going crazy, internal organs failing, and other related issues and they tell you it's just type 2 diabetes, ask them to check your pancreas enzymes.

Yes. Type 1 diabetes, neuropathy, retinopathy and others autoimmune diseases that are killing me

Poorly controlled type 2 diabetes here (waiting on my A1c right now actually). I dont have much long term damage yet, but the prospect of retinapathy is particularly scary to me and definitely a factor in my wanting to ctb.

That sounds truly awful.

I have many symptoms of diabetes, neuropathy, non functional bowel, polyuria, polydypsia, polyphagia. List goes on. But my blood sugar is always okay so they tell me it's all in my head. I just know they are missing something.
