Yes. I am in recovery from addiction. I was hours away from death with a blood clot, sepsis and a Pulmonary Embolism. I feel this has left me with some issues. I also attend therapy for trauma... PTSD and Emotional Disregulation.

Hi . Managing diabetes when you are not getting enough sleep can be tough. Do you have type 1 or type 2? Is your doctor aware that you have insomnia and that it might impact your blood sugar levels? If so, has your doctor been of any help? Here is an article about type 2 diabetes and sleep disorders that might interest you: https://type2diabetes.com/living/sleep-problems.

Type 2 and systemic inflammation. What a way to go through life.

Oh gosh, I think that must be very challenging to manage. How are you managing your systemic inflammation? I imagine type 2 is controlled by diet and or medication?
