Also having depression it sort of clouds that feeling of denial and acceptance as it's own way of dealing with any traumatic events in your life or have an existential crisis which makes you think nothing makes sense, why am I alive etc.

I think i was lucky when they repeatedly asked me to keep getting the feel for injecting as the first day I moved into the ward from intensive care I already felt like I was in prison - worse even. They saw I had suffered anxiety in the ward from dealing with people and open spaces so they let...

From the moment i never really fit in to society, i always felt I was in denial about all of life like it was an illusion like the matrix. Things like diabetes or mental health were (and still) just part of that denial. When i first got the diagnosis at hospital, nothing hit me, the penny...

i also did a online test for gluten intolerance and met most of the criteria (depression, constipation, anxiety, stomach cramps, weakness of body, balance problems), but blood tests come back clean, must be my high sugar and/or ketones maintained at high levels for long periods of time

From what is posted on the petition you stated he also has a neurological condition (which affects people in different ways), i can only gather that your son might have some sort of anxiety around using needles etc or has some sort of hypersensitivity or doesn't respond well to medication (which...

i mentioned depression but they just put it down to my constant high blood sugar, i would still have depression if i were to have it in the normal range, and anxiety would go up instead whilst the low blood sugar takes its place

went on em for a few days and experienced severe depression, though i get it 1 or 2 days a month in general, i think the process was accellerated whilst on statins in the way that it speeds up the blood through the body and possibly sped up the hormone(?) to produce whatever chemical in the...

have one and its lasted for 2 months now, started mild and now cough about 10x a day, I think it's just the air quality in the home, and upon research believe it might just be walking pneumonia though haven't got an official diagnosis from the doctor who just dismisses it with "you're probably...

Regardless of what insulin i use, if i go high i get depressed, if i go low i get insane anxiety that makes me vulnerable to the many noises around which overload my senses even when in my own room which is quiet and also gives me severe headaches. I consider low between 3-10mmol/l and high...

its possible you already died in your sleep and you are reliving your life as your memory was wiped of the experience from then and now

Bringing you closer to what death feels like, whether it be very low blood sugar or very high, as when you're at a high like 35mmol/l you feel like your blood is like syrup, and you struggle to get up the stairs and the legs start to feel numb. What i haven't told you is this happens nearly all...

they probably gave up on me because my sugars have been over 15% for 3 years running, maybe they think i'm not worth the extra money for strips, and they will keep tossing me between surgery and hospital over just a meter that party are willing to fund but the other are not, plus i have the...

I also have a DSN appointment coming up, and hoping that when I mention my anxiety & depression not affected by blood sugar, that they will pass on the information to my GP who seems to not care about my wellbeing, and upon research online will hope to reason with them about taking potentially...

yeah my diabetic nurse explains that thighs/buttocks are the most flabby part of your body, regardless of your weight, but problem is im always shaky when tryin to inject in places i can't see and i need to be sitting down to actually concentrate on the area incase i inject too deep or if the...

anywhere thats fat enough to inject into, i'd inject in my arm if it was flabby enough, druggies use their arms to inject drugs so why not the same with insulin?

last time i remember goin hypo was goin out to eat about a couple of months before christmas, but was unsure if it was a normal blood sugar because im so used to being high i don't know what a hypo feels like anymore

i'd have this problem only if I would go out regularly because also I travel light (as in just keys and wallet), but might owe to the fact I haven't had a hypo for months

Can't really afford to go on a gluten-free diet seeing as when I look through the gluten free aisle at the supermarket it is noticeably more expensive than the gluten counterpart. Although you didn't ask me to look at gluten-free foods that would otherwise be full of gluten, it's hard to see...

headaches happen on a regular basis due to genes probably, but thats only triggered when my blood sugar is between 4 mmol/l and 10 mmol/l, if its above that I never get headaches, hence the motivation to have a consistently above 10 blood sugar because headaches are the worst pain i could ever...

Anyone know if the Contour Next USB (meter supplied by the GP) test strips have been discontinued or not? i'm convinced the other chemist near me would have them but would not supply them unless they were clearly stated on the prescription, also i'm not willing to travel 5 miles to the hospital...
