Your GP sound like they're really on the ball which is good. Definitely hold on to them. I myself am quite lucky as I have a good GP, I think it's shocking how some people don't get the right treatments and test strips etc. Your doing really well from the sounds of it qbix. Fingers crossed your...

The plans are going well thanks, I'm just trying to get excited for it all. We're going to make our music CD over the weekend hopefully. Then I just need to sort the dresses and turn up :D

LOL :lol:

I'll keep my fingers crossed that your appointment with the doc goes ok. I'm due back in 2 weeks I think. How long have you been on insulin? It's unusual for it to make you feel ill, although I've been on it all my life so I can't really comment much. Here's hoping your feeling a little brighter...

Hahaha I love it :lol: :lol:

It's weird the different side effects. I had terrible stomach cramps from it the other day and I know my diet hasn't changed and I hadn't eaten anything...very odd. Mind you, I say all this today tomorrow I may be back down in the dumps. :***:

Hi everyone, Well it's been about a week and a half. I feel ok ish. I've stopped crying and moping around at least. I've started cleaning everything like I used to and am trying to look at all the things I've got to look forward too. I'm hoping this is a step in the right direction at least. My...

hi, you should check out an app called My Fitness Pal - I find it really helpful to work out some of my carb portions. I weigh my food then search for it on this app and it tells you precisely how many carbs are in that portion of food. It's pretty accurate, one of the best I've seen so far.

Thanks, i'll keep you posted. Don't feel as tired today, got an early night last night so that's good.

OMG I am so tired. Is this normal after only being on the tablets for 3 days? I think I've cleaned out the coffee! I've been applying for loads of different jobs. Made the decision to try to stay in work as long as possible until I do find another job though. I had my notice all written out...

Well done! Don't worry, my sugars go up if I'm stressed as well. Keep postive though you're doing brilliantly

Agreed I would take them straight away as they take a while to get into your system. Touch wood I've been ok. No hypos :D

Hi, coincidently I was also put on these yesterday at the doctors. She did warn me that the ones i'm on (citalopram 10mg) may cause my sugars to drop and to look out for hypo's just whilst my body gets used to them.

Thanks weeezer, i'm so glad your starting to have the fog lifted as you say. Fingers and toes all crossed haha Yes and obviously the link between depression/anxiety/diabetes is quite strong as well from the conversations I've had with everyone on here and 'google' (couldn't be helped lol)...

Hi, I'm feeling okish. No crying and back to emotionless but I do feel better in that we're doing something about it now. 90 - that's brilliant,and good for you managing to look after him without aid of a home, you deserve a medal, I think all carers do. I don't know how you cope although we...

Re: Diabetes in your wedding day Hi, I'm the same as you, only I'm getting married in 3 months. I think though like you have done, a little tiny pouch or bag with all your stuff in it and just keep checking yourself as you normally would. Especially during the breaks in the day. After all your...

Re: Some hope: background retinopathy Awesome well done!! :D

Weeezer did you find you would just cry uncontrollably for no reason at all?

Same I'm still unsure as I had a whole hour today were I thought that I felt absolutely fine, but then it all went. We'll see, You never know, we might both be surprised in the end :lol:

This sounds like you do have the basal spot on. I think that if you know a routine that does work for you then carry on doing that i.e if you don't want to eat something before bed and think you will be ok then go for it. Your DSN is just offering her advice through other diabetics experiences...
