Message: <blockquote data-quote="Adelesjakevan" data-source="post: 1210559" data-attributes="member: 316482">Thank you so much for your post. My sugars go between 1.9 (hypo) and 18.5mmol, it the worst it every been.  You mentioned that you found that your levels contributed to your depression, how??  My mum is lovely but also as stubborn as they come.  We have been offered help but she has refused all apart from a befriender who takes her out midweek.  She does even want me to get a gardener to help looking after her big garden lol. I've been advised to find time for myself / a hobby but so far other things get in the way. I started kayaking and then my youngest started coming and absolutely loves it. Unfortunately there is no way I could stop him coming as he's getting loads out of it. I have found a great Diabetic nurse whom I feel I'm letting down because she is trying so hard and being so supportive. She never judges and always listens.  She has admitted that there is lack of support and pathways to get help for people with chronic conditions like diabetes and mental health issues. It's hard finding where one health issue ends another takes over.  They all seem to interlink...  I'm living day to day at the moment but I do have another trip to see my diabetic nurse tomorrow, so here's hoping !! Thanks</blockquote>
