I am 33 years old with a 7.0 a1c. Diabetes type 2. As soon as I found out I immediately changed my eating habits and gave up almost all sugar. I had never felt my body reacting from a low blood sugar but it is scary. Now I am reading everything I can about diets and exercise and it's all so overwhelming. I am now attributing every ache and feeling in my body to diabetes.
The doctor has diagnosed me with anxiety and has prescribed lorazepam. I was diagnosed with anxiety because for some reason I kept having a fear that I would die in my sleep. The doctor checked my heart told me I am okay (Thinks I'm a bit of a hypochondriac) and told me not to come into her office until March the 9th which is when I take my new a1c. I have been visiting her once a week since diagnosis.I have become slightly anorexic because I just don't feel like eating. I try but after a bite or two I am not hungry anymore. I have also been referred to a sleep specialist because I am not sleeping well at night. The doctor believes I may have sleep apnea due to congestion. I am inclined to believe her because I do wake up at least twice during the night. My blood sugars have been great and I am down 11 pounds. I was taken off of metformin. The doctor says I do not need it. I am taking garlic twice daily, ALA 600 mg, and a multivitamin plus an antibiotic for an infection. All in all things are looking good. How do you guys deal with the anxiety? Did you have any?
