Up coming knee surgery

Bumpsadaisy

Hello everyone.

I have to have a knee replacement. But 1st I have to lower my BMI and my sugars (type 2) I'm in a mess. I can't eat properly, my sugar levels all over the place. I live with depression and I'm on my own. I feel like telling them to forget it,I'm in such a mess. I'm 57 I was diagnosed when I was 40.
