Facing my fears - or perhaps not so much - need help

Hi Debb and Jim,
thanks a lot for commenting.
@Debb: The “give a black eye to” made me laugh. And everything you said is correct. I just have to wait until it settles in… but I already feel better.
@Jim: There has been so much going on in my head, But this thought didn’t cross my mind - that non-diabetics can as well get health issues out of nowhere. This helps.
Again, thanks to both of you!
