    When The Penny Dropped For You?

    Also having depression it sort of clouds that feeling of denial and acceptance as it's own way of dealing with any traumatic events in your life or have an existential crisis which makes you think nothing makes sense, why am I alive etc.

    When The Penny Dropped For You?

    I think i was lucky when they repeatedly asked me to keep getting the feel for injecting as the first day I moved into the ward from intensive care I already felt like I was in prison - worse even. They saw I had suffered anxiety in the ward from dealing with people and open spaces so they let...

    When The Penny Dropped For You?

    From the moment i never really fit in to society, i always felt I was in denial about all of life like it was an illusion like the matrix. Things like diabetes or mental health were (and still) just part of that denial. When i first got the diagnosis at hospital, nothing hit me, the penny...

    Is there a link between T1D and digestion problems?

    i also did a online test for gluten intolerance and met most of the criteria (depression, constipation, anxiety, stomach cramps, weakness of body, balance problems), but blood tests come back clean, must be my high sugar and/or ketones maintained at high levels for long periods of time

    PIP Petition for Type 1.

    From what is posted on the petition you stated he also has a neurological condition (which affects people in different ways), i can only gather that your son might have some sort of anxiety around using needles etc or has some sort of hypersensitivity or doesn't respond well to medication (which...

    counceling

    i mentioned depression but they just put it down to my constant high blood sugar, i would still have depression if i were to have it in the normal range, and anxiety would go up instead whilst the low blood sugar takes its place

    Poll - side effects from statins?

    went on em for a few days and experienced severe depression, though i get it 1 or 2 days a month in general, i think the process was accellerated whilst on statins in the way that it speeds up the blood through the body and possibly sped up the hormone(?) to produce whatever chemical in the...

    Constant cough

    have one and its lasted for 2 months now, started mild and now cough about 10x a day, I think it's just the air quality in the home, and upon research believe it might just be walking pneumonia though haven't got an official diagnosis from the doctor who just dismisses it with "you're probably...

    Type1. Depression and diabetes.....

    Regardless of what insulin i use, if i go high i get depressed, if i go low i get insane anxiety that makes me vulnerable to the many noises around which overload my senses even when in my own room which is quiet and also gives me severe headaches. I consider low between 3-10mmol/l and high...

    THINGS DIABETES HAS TAUGHT ME!?

    Bringing you closer to what death feels like, whether it be very low blood sugar or very high, as when you're at a high like 35mmol/l you feel like your blood is like syrup, and you struggle to get up the stairs and the legs start to feel numb. What i haven't told you is this happens nearly all...

    Am I the only one who has given up?

    they probably gave up on me because my sugars have been over 15% for 3 years running, maybe they think i'm not worth the extra money for strips, and they will keep tossing me between surgery and hospital over just a meter that party are willing to fund but the other are not, plus i have the...

    Am I the only one who has given up?

    I also have a DSN appointment coming up, and hoping that when I mention my anxiety & depression not affected by blood sugar, that they will pass on the information to my GP who seems to not care about my wellbeing, and upon research online will hope to reason with them about taking potentially...

    Injecting

    anywhere thats fat enough to inject into, i'd inject in my arm if it was flabby enough, druggies use their arms to inject drugs so why not the same with insulin?
