Chronic tiredness can cause depression, and go hand-in-hand with it.Are you having hypos at night ? I can have very shallow "sleep" with night time hypos, and it can be exausting just waking up in the morning.Getting regular gentle exercise can help to even out highs and lows and reduce your...

My reader failed after the 3rd sensor and was replaced free, as it most certainly should be. I am now on my 6th sensor. The fifth fell off after a shower.

Same sort of thing mid morning - high, and late morning low. Now I inject and have breakfast - 2 shredded wheat (no sugar on top !!) - and only eat after at least 20 mins,upto 40mins (dizzy!), and this totally smooths out the morning. I still need a mid morning snack of three plain biscuits or I...
