[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 445210, member: 21149"] HI. You don't mention in your post that you have tried to have a lower-carb diet? Perhaps you have tried and found it difficult to continue; I also hope you are not trying to follow a typical 'NHS diet' if it suggests starchy carbs etc. A low-carb diet will work believe me but it does require discipline to find foods you like but which are lower carb. If you are overweight (I'm guessing from your apparent high blood sugar) then your insulin units may be high and you end up in a vicious circle. You must discuss the amount of insulin you inject with the GP in case that needs balancing. You can always ask for suggestions on this forum but we are not professionals and can often only guess. I appreciate when you are feeling depressed it is only too easy for people like me to offer thoughts when not in your situation. Do if necessary seek help from one of the relevant charities. I do volunteer work for Mind and know that many service users have depression and cCBT, as suggested by Patch, is one of the many ways to help. [/QUOTE]
