For those who’ve been prescribed AD’s and have type 1 - have they affected your BG readings at all?
Asking for a very good friend of mine.

no-one can force pills down your throat. They can give you options and the decision is yours.It seems best to avoid talking about psychological stuff at all with medical people because I am very scared that it will end with them forcing pills down my throat. If it affects sugar levels then phew really REALLY not interested.
What proportion of people who have type 1 are on depressants?
It seems way more common than it should be.
Can I just say I just wish people would not be so “judgemental” about antidepressants. If you can find one and it may not be the first one prescribed that helps then take it as you would a pill for any other serious illness. I lost a very dear friend, a mother if 4, two years ago. She suspected she had depression but because she as a nurse she was too embarrassed to seek help. I though I was helping her but took my eye off the ball for a few months because my own mother was dying. I cant bear any closed opinions on this subject. Whatever popular opinion is there is a real place for medication for mental illness and I think it is equally important to diabetis.
