Hi everyone, Just received my latest HBA1C results after blood tests yesterday, they're now up to 64 from 59 three months ago. I'm currently taking one 10mg Dapagliflozin per day only, and my diet unsurprisingly has not been good due to my ongoing awful mental health issues. I've also now been...

Thank you all for your kind replies, I'm still feeling the same but I'm here at least. I've been back in contact with CPN's who are trying to get me back in to see my psychiatrist but have advised they cannot give a timeframe on this. In the meantime they will remain in regular contact with me...

Thank you all so much for your messages of encouragement, it really does mean so much. I spoke to a counsellor earlier today over the phone who was very sympathetic and couldn't believe that everything I've asked for through my psychiatrist has been refused as it's not 'appropriate' for me. I'm...

Thank you for your reply, I already have a CPN so if I contact GP etc they'll just refer me back to her and I'll be told to implement my safety plan. Easier said than done when you're feeling like this. But thanks again for the information. Maggie

Hi everyone, I'm T2, currently not well controlled although the Dapagliflozin they've prescribed seems to be doing something to keep things relatively in check. I've struggled for years with my mental health, diagnosed with complex-PTSD, severe depression and anxiety. I've been feeling over...

Thank you for your reply, I'm definitely trying hard with the carb lowering this week and hopefully the Rybelsus will help me with that, as well as overall appetite suppression. I'm just taking it one day at a time, baby steps but hopefully better than nothing. All the best. Maggie

Hi everyone, I'm T2, currently taking Dapagliflozin 10mg and Sitagliptin 100mg daily. I've just had my HBA1C results back and they are now 59, down from 60. Three months ago they had gone down from 70 to 60. My diet has been absolutely terrible due to my mental health being so bad and...

Hi everyone, I'm T2, have been taking Dapagliflozin 10mg and Sitagliptin 100mg, my last HBA1C had reduced from 70 to 60 thanks to the medication but my diet and eating have been very bad over the last few months due to serious mental health issues. I had an appt with DN a few days ago and she...

Thank you for your reply, I will definitely speak to the DN about Rybelsus if she tells me Mounjaro isn't an option. I'll need something to help me stop eating, that's for sure. Maggie

Hi everyone, I'm T2, currently taking Dapagliflozin 10mg and Sitagliptin 100mg. My diabetes is not at all well controlled due to my mental health issues which have been terrible for months now. I was at the nurse on Monday for an infected abscess (probably due to all the sugar and carbs) and...

Hi everyone, Thanks for your replies, and I am so sorry for anyone else going through these terrible times with mental health issues. I am not any better unfortunately, CPN is now involved again and is very concerned because my mood is so low. I feel sometimes that these mental health...

Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm T2, currently taking Dapagliflozin 10mg and Sitagliptin. I've posted here before about the struggles I'm having with my mental health, I've been diagnosed with complex PTSD and severe depression and anxiety. I'm currently under the care of a psychiatrist who has been really...

Thanks for the replies, I've been making sure to take lots more water and the headaches seem to have eased a bit so maybe it was a bit of dehydration. Hopefully it'll stay settled, if not I'll contact DN again. Maggie

Hi everyone, I'm T2, currently taking Dapaglifizon 10mg and Sitagliptin 100mg, I have only been taking the Dapaglifizon for about 4 weeks, my DN prescribed it when I said I did not want to take Glicazide for the fear of hypo's. I had to stop taking the Dapaglifozin for a couple of days as I...
