Thank God, diabetes is a terrible disease. My family has had it also. They've been OK but some people are not. God has delivered you it seems. He is good.Just pray and keep praying. I was addicted to snacks.
For many years I've had a problem with diabetes and the more medication I was given the worse it seemed to get. Last summer I prayed to ask God to help me stop snacking as I would eat three or four packets of crisps (chips) in one go. I read a lot and couldn't get out of the habit of snacking whilst I read.
My prayers were answered and suddenly I didn't want anything between meals and only ate when I was hungry, Then I ended up in hospital twice during the summer with stroke scares, which weren't strokes at all, and each time I learned a bit more about how my pancreas works in two 5 minutes chats to diabetic nurses. I learned more about managing my diabetes in those few minutes than I had in the previous 25 years. God is good and I believe he allowed me to go into hospital for that reason. And praise his name I don't snack any more and the diabetes is almost reversed in less than six months.
