I'm 39 years old I was diagnosed with Type 2 in November 2014 but as a typical man I didn't really do anything about it i was then put on medication i started to take it then stoped as i had other personal problems come up each time i get my hba1c checked its been going up Feb this year it was 8.5% then June was 8.7% and been told that if i carry on as i am i will become very ill. I was diagnosed with depression end of last year and they think this may not be helping me was given medication and was starting to want to sort my diabetes out then at the beginning of May 2017 my wife left me and took the kids with her and not seen much of them since I'm now at rock bottom i have felt like committing suicide i even sat on my bed with all my medication and was going to take the lot but i dont no what stopped me but something did. I went and saw my doctor about these thoughts and I'm now seeing him. Twice a week and he gave me some diazepam to try and help which it dose seem to whe i have those thoughts. I now want to try and get my diabetes under control but not sure where I'm going to start as I'm still feeling really down.
