anxiety

Hi, I’m really upset and scared. I posted quite some time ago about worrying night blood sugars and struggles with mental health. I’ve been under a MH team and I’ve been put on 2 medications for anxiety and depression. I’m also on a Stantin, 2 tablets for diabetes and vitamin d3. I’ve had to...

Hi everyone, recently my bag was stolen in a pub and my insulin and phone was in my bag. I tried to find my bag so I can check my sugar level if I was in safe range but people just asked me to leave the place. I was in panic that I have to walk or do something without knowing my sugar level...

Hi all, I was diagnosed in November as Type 1 diabetic. It had likely been going undetected a few months. Dr Google led me to believe it might be leukemia briefly but by the time I booked an appointment to explore and waited 3 weeks for this to come around, I ended up in hospital with dka where...

To clarify I have not been diagnosed with diabetes or has tests but mum and dad have type 2 diabetes. But I do have Crohn’s disease and asthma. So I had a driving lesson and I had some food like two pieces of toast with butter and jam but due to stress because I had a driving test at 1:45pm I...

Hi y'all, I'am a 22 year old Filipino Guy who lives in the Philippines and i wanted to share some of my experiences from the past 2 years of me having these symptoms that are VERY similar with people that has a high glucose level/s. So, at around June of 2020, i had a huge headache but the next...

Hello!!! I am a type 1 d for many years. As time goes on i become more and more anxious about complications, especially since my control has been really sloppy. So I'd like to ask about two of my main concerns, vision and mobility loss (and hearing loss).What do these complications look like ...

Hi guys. I am a type 1 for almost 2 decades and i was wandering , to what extend can we stop the progression of complications, once good control steps in? For example, i have had some time now whith high a1c and a bit of neuropathy,but I'm starting to improve my control.Do i have to worry about...

Firstly I don’t mean to upset anyone this is a bit complicated. I was diagnosed with ‘gestational diabetes’ when I was pregnant I had to take steroids during the pregnancy as I was so sick. Baby just turned one. Anyway when I was diagnosed I was gutted and frightened it wouldn’t go away. I...

D2 for 8 years. I am experiencing some symptoms compatible with neuropathy such as mild burning in some areas of the foot and little finger of the left hand, but they disappear for a few weeks and reappear. I don't know if this is neuropathy or maybe I'm obsessing over it and imagining things...

Hi, I've been on Escitalopram last year( before i was diagnosed with T1D), and I stopped for a few month. But the anxiety and so many symptoms have now came back, so my doctor prescribed me Escitalopram again. I'm starting of by 5 mg for three days then bump up to 10mg on the 4th day as my...

Hi There, I am a 61 yo male in Seattle, Firstly, I apologize if this post is too long or too much info. I have been finding lately that my health providers seem a bit impatient with me and my questions about what's going on for me. Very frustrating. I had been diagnosed back in 2011 with T2...

Dear all Firstly, hi, I'm new here after being diagnosed with T2D today. I wasn't overly surprised by the diagnosis, having been borderline for a few years and having family history of Diabetes (I'm now the 3rd generation to have it). Even so, it's causing anxiety and is already affecting my...

Hi Guys, I have never posted in one of these forums before but I have been having a rough time recently and I just feel so lonely dealing with diabetes most of the time that I thought I'd try and see if anyone else is interested in what I have to say. Does anyone find that you can go through...

Good morning all, My name is Will, i'm 27 in the UK. I suffer from Health Anxiety and have done particularly around Diabetes for many years. I recently had a lot of concern I might be developing the condition (in July) and so asked to speak to my Doctor who let me have an HBA1c test performed...

I had a urine analysis done a few days ago I went in for a uti but they did all the normal check ins and tests as well. I was negative for glucose and protein in my urine but I had some ketones which I was told was due to that my body was on a fast and that I hadn’t ate. I haven’t been...

I woke up yesterday morning, looked at the ceiling, I needed the toilet as usual, steadily I rolled out of bed to sit up, stretching and went about my morning routine before going down, putting the kettle on and making me and the wife a nice cuppa. As I turned on the television, let the dog into...

Hi all, Sorry in advance for this bit of a rant. I'm one of the fortunate ones in that lockdown was good for me. My mental health improved and for the first time in a long time I feel like I'm actually taking control of my diabetes. However, and I'm sure many others feel the same, I am...

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but I would be interested in people's views. I'm a 67 year old T1D and I've had diabetes for over 45 years. I have never let it stop me enjoying life and doing adventurous stuff, but now I feel differently. I see many other people going back to a...

Hello I am new and just after some help and advice. For as long as I can remember (at least 20 years) I have been having episodes where I suddenly get very shakey, flickering in my vision, clammy, feel like I’m going to die etc. I always felt like this was related to food. Recently I purchased...

Hello all, Had completely forgotten about this forum so was nice to find it again. I have had T1D for 13 years this year, my main issue is around being allergic to insulin. When I was first diagnosed I was on Novorapid and Lantus for around 4/5 years when I developed an allergy to Novorapid -...
