Hello Trish, thanks for your very candid and very moving post. So many women can relate to the experiences you describe here and how our self esteem can be affected when we feel like we're not being accepted for who we are. I'm sorry to hear of your family's health struggles and the passing of your parents. You have been through so much in the past few years -- no doubt.
With regard to your recent diabetes diagnosis, you should be very proud of your initiative and your willingness to find a solution. While I see you're looking for someone with first-hand experience in this area (very smart) I wanted to share a few EmpowHER resources with you until one of our community members responds.
