How is your blood sugar? If it's very up and down that can affect you both physically and emotionally.

You need to get in touch with your GP as soon as possible. Not all meds suit everyone and they can interact.

Yes, I agree that it's best to see your GP about what is going on. It could well be the fluctuating sugar levels not helping. Then I also deal with depression and other diseases and I do feel awful a lot but it's not my diabetes that is the cause. It could be that for you as well. I wish you the best. :)

All those symptoms are a direct result of high or fluctuating blood glucose levels.
It could be to much insulin in your blood.
You do need to see your GP!

We're you issued with a blood glucose monitor?
