Just an example:
my daughter had 2 baskets full of her clothes in the front room. I asked her to help put them away; she said ‘no.’ My husband didn’t say anything to her; he starts yelling at me, telling me he wants the clothes out of there. When I reminded him she doesn’t want to help, he starts yelling at me, saying, "STOP!"
he acts like he’s done nothing wrong. he’s got part of it right: he’s done NOTHING. he watches t.v., goes off with whomever, and goes to bed early. even now he’s watching t.v. i really don’t know what to do.
he tried to ‘punish’ me earlier by "leaving" me, because i told him that we need to be on the same page, and as long as he fights me, she’s just going to be confused and nothing’s going to get done. he told me he’s leaving, i can go around with no car, and told our daughter to come with him. she cried and said, "No, I love my mom too much to leave her." (thank God.) after he left, she cried so hard, blaming herself for not obeying me. i said, "Oh wow, you didn’t obey. That’s ground for divorce." (that was after i continuously told her that she is not to blame; daddy’s just trying to punish me.) she kinda giggled, realizing it had nothing to do with her. we started to clean up, and he showed back up. he’s still being mean to me, tho, so i’m trying to stay away from him.
he’s just such a jerk to me. and i keep letting it happen. now he’s done it in front of our daughter. this is no good. she deserves better.
i don’t want us to break up, but i can’t take his constant belligerence and belittling me. he will act like he helps around the house when we have company, then stops as soon as they’re gone. then he wants to complain that the house is a mess, tho i’m CONSTANTLY working. if that isn’t bad enough, i’ve been so worried about bills, like medicine. we have no money in our pockets right now. but then i find out he bought 2 0 WII systems for his grand kids, through layaway. (so much more important than afford for diabetic test strips!) i’ve gone without in soooo many ways (I have ONE pair of socks to my name, for example), just to find out he’s WASTING our money til we’re broke.
i’m obviously not going to get through to him. what else can i do? do i HAVE to leave him? we only have one car, and without being together, i won’t stand a chance. i only ge 0/month. (I’m disabled with spina bifida.) he doesn’t make that much more than i do, which is all the more reason we need each other, financially.
it isn’t fair to our daughter or me. and it isn’t like he doesn’t know HOW to be nice. you should see him with the grands. he’s so funny and personable with them.
there’s got to be an answer. what am i missing? i’m sure i’m too close to the situation to think clearly.

Also is lighted headedness a sign of diabetes?

I asked a similar question in medicine, but hoping some more holistic folks might have some insight. I have PCOS so I’m supposedly insulin resistant and symptoms are caused by high levels of insulin in the blood. Stevia is supposedly safe for me and diabetics, although it stimulates insulin secretion. How can it be safe for me to take even though it stimulates insulin secretion? Aren’t I supposed to avoid high levels of insulin in the blood? Thanks!

For diabetes type 2 only please :)

What is your average blood sugar level after 2 hours of meal?

I have been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and I now try to control it, however, my blood sugar level after 2 hours still looks pretty high (ranging from 8-15, average around 10), but it usually goes down back to around 5 after 5 hours.

I know the blood sugar level is all depends on what you ate, activity, level of stress, hormone, etc etc, but I just want to know what is your average approximately?

Thanks.
By the way, I didn’t take any medicine or insulin, 27 in age and would be interested to know people with similar circumstances (age around 20-30 without any medicine or insulin).

I just started taking Metformin for Insulin resistance (which caused my cycles to stop) I have had 1 regular cycle since I satrted taking it 1 month ago. Id love to hear your stories. How long did it take you to concieve while on the medication, complications, other things that may help in combination with the medicine…My husband and I are working on baby #2…it took us 4 years to get pregnant with my son, on no meds at that time. Do you think my outlook is a good one? All responses appreciated!

I’ve been on Metformin and Cymbata since this last summer. The medicine has helped me loose 30 lbs. Unfortunately, my weight loss is at a stand still now and I’ve noticed I’ve been getting more frequent blood sugar lows. This may also be because I’ve haven’t been as hungry and have been skipping meals. I actually went 12 hours with out a meal yesterday. Got distracted, boy did my husband chew me out for that one. I guess I hope that if I skip meals, I’ll lose more weight.
