Depressed after so many years!!

[Robcz]

Why after losing weight (Quite a lot) from 76kg to 65kg, and controlling my blood sugar ....I am feeling depressed :-( Never felt like this before, and after 47 years!! Of having class 1 diabetes.....What's going on???

Hello @Robcz . Maybe it is something else that has caused the depression? It's a horrid feeling so I hope it lifts soon for you.

 

[Robcz]

@mo53 Thanks for the reply .....Sugar was low.....Feeling better now

 

[mo53]

Well that's good news.

Know the feeling, low blood sugar can make things seem a lot worse, glad you're feeling better.

 

[Robcz]

Thanks @philchap1 ......Yes low BS is strange ....Sometimes can create a Jekyll and Hyde scenario.
Been there so many times like so many others with Diabetes......We are, in some ways, super heroes

 

[Robcz]

And to be honest @mo53 you are absolutely right!! My business is going down big time! And I think this is having a big impact on my BS.....Stress!!!!! I maybe financially finished, but not out!
Fight back..... is my middle name

 

[mo53]

I'm glad you are going to fight back! That's the spirit!

 

[mo53]

@Robcz . Now that you are feeling better maybe you will think up a brilliant solution for turning the business round.

 

[Robcz]

@mo53 you are such a nice person xxx Thank you for your replies, makes me feel better....However, I will have to re-invent myself...Business has gone :-(
I would like to let people know that stress can make a difference on BS......I had an issue 2 weeks ago (Which I do not want to write here).......

 

[mo53]

Good luck

I had a bout of depression after I got my pump and achieved what was, to me, incredibly good control. Like everyone, other things were also happening in my life, so I can't be sure of the cause of the depression. But certainly one aspect was regret: why didn't I, why couldn't I do this before? And another was fury: how many &@$;:$& medical professionals had completely failed to even try to equip me with the knowledge I needed to do it myself. In fact, nearly a year later, I'm still pretty cross about that.

 

[Robcz]

Yes @RuthW I'm afraid that's the life we have to deal with.....We have the same problems as anyone else, but the added bonus of having diabetes :-(
The doctors do what they are told to do and taught....We! Have to be in control....Not the doctors....You and I have to learn what we need...(I do believe commissions on test strips and insulin sales are involved).

Don't be cross, be cleaver!.....Easy for me to say....Because I am not happy too......Low sugar, or high sugar can make you tired, angry, confused, or the feeling is to love everyone.....Everyday I have all of these emotions ......Very, very frustrating!
Let's say.....Life is like a box of chocolates ... xxxxxx
