13!! But think it's due to our fire alarm going off every 20mins from 5am until my husband worked out how to take the fuses out!! Very grumpy now this morn :(

Totally get it! I too suffer depression, anxiety and at times agrophobia. Those "pull yourself together, it's not that bad" comments really lighten the load [emoji23] they try bless them but I don't think anyone really understands unless they experience it. This forum is a life saver for me in...

Sometimes I wish I could man up and get over it lol

Thank you @ArtimisBow and @noblehead x

On days I work my bg is never below 16. No matter what. On my days off its never above 10. I'm currently applying for other jobs but it's a struggle. Going to try out mindfulness. Don't really know what else to do. At least we know we aren't alone

Hi so I completed the dafne course back in Feb and we have to go for an update session next week. I'd nebtioned before that I have anxiety and it helps if I know what to expect. It's a 2 hour session so I'm wondering what happens? If anyone that's completed it could give me a little info I'd...

Thanks diabell. I get a copy print out of my results. Am on a statin already.

Aaaaahhhhhh!!! I've my clinic tomorrow and even though I'm positive I've reduced my hbA1c I'm still so nervous! I always feel I'm a 'bad diabetic' and dread these. I never know what questions to ask! Yeugh! Just needed to whine

Hi! I live in Northern Ireland and I'm a nurse.

Does anyone suffer anxiety and use natural remedies to cope? I take citalopram and diazapam but really want to come off these tabs (mainly diazapam). My stomach is in knots with nerves/anxiety atm but really trying to hold off. I've suffered anxiety/depression for 6 years now and it's...

Hi @kazwaz1. I can empathise. Shortly after I was diagnosed with type 1 (6years ago) I was also diagnosed with a rare spinal cyst, anxiety and depression. I became addicted to the painkillers I was taking for my back pain. I didn't leave the house for 3 months. My bg ran constantly over...

6.5 I can't believe it! A week of eating well, not eating after 8pm and exercising has brought me from 14+ to this!

That would be so great @Juicyj thanks

That is fantastic that you are doing so well! I will definitely look into that link. I didn't know such group existed! I'm a nurse in a dementia unit and the stress was sending my bg into the 20s regularly. My gp has signed me off with stress and now my bg's are spot on and have coped better...

Ah @tim2000s can someone not do the testing for me?! It's tiring this diabetes carry on but I have to say I'm extatic to be reducing my insulin needs for once! That's a great link and seems straight forward (which I need). Thanks for the help

Hi. So I take levimer 20u at night and 10u in morning. My novorapid ratios are 2u to 10g in the am then 1.5u to 10g afternoon and evening. This past week I've started eating healthier and reducing my carbs. I'm now going low pre evening meal and pre bed. So my question is do I reduce my am...

So having toyed with the idea of lchf I decided that I didn't really trust myself just yet answer I was scared of overeating so I joined weight watchers. I've chosen to try making my meals lower carb but it gives me an idea of portion sizes etc. A bit of structure is what I need. In 3 days...
