I was diagnosed t2 a while back. I posted a couple of weeks ago about my mental health and having to A&E with pancreatitis. My doctor (if I can call him that) phoned me yesterday saying from my blood tests my blood sugar levels are too high which I’m already on 2 medications for. He said he has...

Thankyou . I’m back home after spending over 9hrs in A&E. I had to have IV fluids and had inflammation. Doctor there was annnoted at my GP saying I should have been reffered to a metabolic specialist as my bloods tests aren’t adding up. I just have to rest and keep hydrated, take medication...

Thankyou for you lovely comment, I managed to get a doctor appointment today and was advised to go a and e as they think I’ve got pancreatitis

My doctor sent a referral to the eating disorder clinic but they replied and said my anxiety and depression could have caused food issues and thought it would be best to be stable and be reffered again. So not really getting any help really. I feel like I’m not being taken seriously because I’m...

Thankyou, I’ve tried to get an appointment today but no luck so will try again tomorrow. I’ve been so worried I’ve not eaten all day - because I’m worrying as soon as I eat something I’ll cause a heart attack or something. Sounds silly but I lost my mum when I was child due to stress related...

I’ve tried lots of relaxation techniques and trying yoga, going for walks….but sometime I’m in so much pain I can barely move.

Hi, I’m really upset and scared. I posted quite some time ago about worrying night blood sugars and struggles with mental health. I’ve been under a MH team and I’ve been put on 2 medications for anxiety and depression. I’m also on a Stantin, 2 tablets for diabetes and vitamin d3. I’ve had to...

Thanks unfortunately I don’t have a team. Kind of been left to my own devices

I’m type 2 and take extended release Metformin. I made a post last week in regards to high blood sugars and struggling with mental health. My levels aren’t great, it’s hard trying to manage them whilst trying to take care of yourself mentally. On average my levels have been about 10-15…..they...

Thankyou so much for your kindness….I’ve spoken to a work friend about this yesterday (I’m glad I’ve told someone I know, almost a relief)….she has a friend who’s a nutritionist who’s offered to help me, who specialises in eating disorders so I’m going to accept the help, got a phone call with...

Thankyou. I definitely felt some support here, and didn’t expect it if I’m being honest with regards to mental health on a diabetes forum. I’ve gone on other forums for mental health and got no way near the nice comments. So thankyou everyone

I just have a problem eating high fat foods as it causes digestion problems and in also vegetarian. So it’s very hard. I’m open to suggestions…..but when I lost weight a reversed it the foods I was eating was working well with my body. Obviously I’m not eating well at the moment. All I think in...

I didn’t follow a low carb diet when I first reversed it….I’ve been doing a more moderate carb. But due to disordered eating it’s been hard

I never went on it at first and reversed my diabetes. And then my mental health deteriorated, I put weight on and I can’t get my numbers down and taking Metformin. Doesn’t make sense. I really want to come off it as it’s not doing anything

I hate taking Metformin. Caused nothing but a load of side effects and doctor still won’t change it or do more tests….well I found out I got uti because I told her everything hurts…I hate having suicidal thoughts, it’s draining

The joys of insomnia. How do we function? I’m just frustrated. I can’t stop overthinking about everything and my health

It’s horrible isn’t it!, I didn’t sleep at all Sunday night and doesn’t seem like I’ll get much tonight, it’s 2.30am here. I’m wide awake

I’m in the uk….I’m just in bed, worrying but I’m not having a Meltdown right now …I had a therapy session today and it makes things raw…..I’ve had no sleep. It’s sounds stupid but I have no faith in the doctors, I’ve had hardly any help from them. It’s like they’re ignoring my physical symptoms...

Thankyou. I’m scared. The crisis team just didn’t help last time and wasn’t long ago I was discharged. I had a meltdown yesterday where I pulled a load of my hair out…and trying to manage diabetes is just too much. I don’t know if they’re both playing against each other.

I have type 2 diabetes. I take slow release Metformin. My blood sugars are around 10mmol - 16/17 mmol which I known is high I’ve had to do a urine sample at doctor lbs and they suspect an infection, so I got put on antibiotics today and waiting for lab results on cultures. I have urinalysis...
