I had a very mild TIA which is a very small stroke.
As most know here I recently quit smoking. I am going thru a strange thing in my head with having to give up everything at one time. makes me want to just smoke and eat wrong all over again. I wonder what is the point of all the changes. I just really want to curl up and cry.

On my birthday last January, I also had a TIA. Second one.
I was really, really POd when told what I should give up.
It's ok to curl up and cry and swear a bit if you want. These are life altering things and came at you hard...much as I hate to say it, baby steps (again!) to acceptance.
Mild or not, the TIA will still have affects on your brain functions, and I hope you were educated about what to expect.
Add in your diabetes, and you are faced with another challenge.
Please be kind to yourself,
Cap
