do they have you doing anything for the pre-diabetes? they should, up to and including a nutritionist-prescribed diet and metformin.
back aches are the most common reason for doc visits - almost everyone gets them.

sorry you have to deal with carpal tunnel. a recent study showed that a steroid shot is more effective than splints for carpal tunnel. does your job aggravate it?

i don't know what to make of the handshake problem. can you give me more info? could you be running into lots of over-enthusiastic hand-shakers? or do you have arthritis in your hand joints? or something else?

what you call underdeveloped, i call ectomorphic, an attractive variation of normal. muscle men turn me off. charles atlas? ugh!

Yes but what's the point if I can't get a girlfriend?



My doctor just thinks I need to be more active and cut back on sugar.

My job indeed aggravates it. It's partly why it developed in the first place.

My hands are small for a male; I didn't play sports as a child and my body refuses to respond to exercise. Men in the culture I live in grasp very hard because they think if you don't then you are a "p****" or might even be gay.

I have fat hanging off the worst places on my body so I am actually endomorphic.

Do you really think developing diabetes is going to make it easier to get a girlfriend? I can assure you it will probably do the opposite, but suit yourself.

Marknis the point is you will be alive and far more likely to get a girlfriend. I'm sure you do want a girlfriend but I would put your health first if I were you. Boyfriends and girlfriends aren't everything. Having a boyfriend / girlfriend is a commitment and requires a great deal of work. Its taken me ages to get to where I am with my boyfriend, it's stressful and exhausting work to even go out on a date. First things first. I would get my Diabetes under control, otherwise you could end up with serious complications like a bad heart or kidney problems. And coming from someone who has a dodgy heart, you do not want that.

being active and cutting back on sugar ( and white flour and potatoes) might help. if no improvement in 6 months, though, other measures should be taken. walking is good exercise and also helps mood.

my husband is an endomorph. i was attracted to his brain and he's the sweetest guy.

what is your job? feel free to PM if you don't mind me knowing.

I was recently diagnosed with throat cancer and it has spread to my lungs. I was at hospital yesterday and they recommend no treatment, radiation or chemo because it is highly unlikely to work and will make me weaker and worst rather than better.

My boyfriend has been so supportive and we're getting married on December 8th. My daughter's aren't old enough to understand what's happening, but we're going to try and prepare the eldest for the worst as it looks like its going to come to that.

I'm scared because I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring me.

i'm so sorry you have to deal with this. best wishes for your marriage.

I just worry it will take until I am too old to finally be able to date. I am 30 years old after all and I can't even get a coffee date; I feel like a loser.

Happy belated birthday!

I'm really, really sorry to hear that My grandfather had bowel cancer which then spread to his lungs just before he died in 2013. Congratulations on your engagement, hoping you and your fiancé will enjoy yourselves while you can. Best wishes Astrid

There is no wrong or right when it comes to dating, as long as both you and your partner are consenting adults. You'll never get too old to find love. As someone who's been unlucky when it comes to love, the way I look at it is that regardless of how high or low the chance of you finding love is, it is always possible as long as you're alive. It's possible because you cannot know for sure that it won't happen

Sorry for the triple post but I don't know how to quote multiple users in one post.

I really wish I could just do something even remotely useful...
Then I see what everyone else has to deal with and wonder why the heck I'm complaining, and then I feel even worse about myself for that. Now I feel kind of guilty about wishing for death more often than not, but I still do... and it's not like I'm doing any good being alive, anyway, so should I really feel any guilt or anything about it? Well, in any case, I really need to either find some way I can do something useful, or hurry up and die already, because I don't know how much more I can take of sitting around feeling like a worthless layabout who will never amount to anything more for about ninety percent of the time, and the other ten percent mostly just going to appointments and stuff - oh, and getting my brain zapped every couple of weeks, for all the good it does me.
