[QUOTE="Fenn, post: 2543875, member: 474433"] Hi, Thankyou Zand I am currently having therapy from a psychologist specialising in diabetes, I hold this lady in such high esteem I have no doubt she could help you but I’m sure as always these things seem to be a post code lottery, I would ask your endo as mine was who referred me, we were having a telephone consultation where I was basically saying “I give up” when he asked how I was doing, I’m not sure if he took that for suicidal but I am not or never been that, I was Just fed up with my terrible diabetes control, I tried to say no to the doctor but he convinced me to have a chat with her, then I tried to convince her she was wasting her time on me as I neither needed it or would be helped from it (typical man/builder type meat head) I was so wrong and the angel who is pretending to be a human psychologist has changed my life, literally. My eating habits, my diabetes and my life in general. I went to see my doctor Tuesday and he said they all talk about me, my control of my numbers is unbelievable. They credit my will power but I 100% know it is the therapy, also low carb eating but the therapy has made that possible or even easy. looking back I suppose I had depression (if depression is the feeling of falling into a black hole with no way of stopping myself or even slowing my decent?) and I know I had anxiety although that’s a hard thing to admit for me, I had a terrible fear of hypos, had a few at work which freaked me out, I would therefore not inject novo during the day, never do adjustment injections so generally run very high all day, I would only inject for evening meals when I had the time to devote to watching for hypos. sorry for the life story, just to say yes there are people out there, I got this on the NHS, the trick is getting your doctor to refer you I guess and in my case accepting the help. Very best of luck, let us know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
