Members opened up about the multiple chronic conditions they manage alongside diabetes, including heart disease, autoimmune disorders, Parkinson's, Lyme disease, neuropathy, and vision loss, often managing severe chronic pain and mobility challenges. Several members shared practical tools and experiences, such as gastroparesis pacemakers for stomach emptying, antidepressants for managing the emotional toll of chronic illness, and how weight loss from diabetes management unexpectedly improved other conditions like fatty liver and high blood pressure. A recurring theme was the unshakable warrior spirit of never giving up despite overwhelming physical and emotional burdens, with members offering each other fierce encouragement and solidarity in their shared fight.

Yo MargaretMEmenwein. I absolutely understand ur comment regarding "worry clouding ur day" cos I've suffered from depression since my late mother @ my.late wife died and when it happens which is quite often just recently I absolutely ruins my day so I have to take antidepressants permanently. They do help me to feel better though so its a beneficial pill to take along with my sleeping pills. Anyway MME KEEP FIGHTING AND NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT!!!

Hey @Jerrick Did you know they have pace maker for your stomach. Same principle as a heart pacemaker. But stimulates your stomach muscle to contract and empty your stomach. My daughter is considering having this done. She is not diabetic but has gastroparesis. .
