Hi All
I suffer quite severe anxiety and have been managing it without medication since my teens.
Things have been worse recently and I’m considering giving medication a go.
I have noticed that a lot of the anti depressants that are used for anxiety state that they can affect glucose and diabetics should monitor their glucose whilst taking them.
I’m not diabetic but having had GD and 2 brothers with type 2 I’m high risk - I don’t want to add another risk factor into the mix.
Has anyone got any experience or knowledge about this?
