[QUOTE="Jimbo2511, post: 2541316, member: 298238"] In the last three years I have sunk into a major depression. I don't like the taste of low carb foods so struggle to control my numbers these days. I am a suger addict, of this I have no doubt, despite this, and with the help of the meds the Doctor has me taking to combat and control my type 2, I have now lost six stone. It has taken me a looooonnnnngggg time, almost ten years, since first being diagnosed. When I was first diagnosed I was upbeat and really doing all I could to try to get my T2 under control, (I come from a "large" family and just thought that my middle age spread was inevitable). My numbers were fine for about 5 years and then something changed internally. So much so, that, I had to change from a diet and exercise regime which kept me in the 5-7mol range, to a more aggressive one with stronger medications as my numbers crept up to high 7's and mid range 8's. I persevered, trying until despite my best efforts, things started going downhill for me. It seemed that nothing I did helped and that I was in a no win situation Mood swings, general bad temper, and misery were finally diagnosed as depression. My old Doctor had been supportive and knew what a struggle I have trying to keep my head above water so to speak. I even managed to aquire a blood testing unit to see if I could help myself more but, the new Doctor at my local surgery won't put the test strips on my repeat prescription slip as I'm "only a T2 and don't need them or it". Wish I had my old Doc back, he at least was helpful. For the first time since I was 13 years old I am now under 13 stone again, not bad for a 62 year old I thought, especially to get down from 19st as I was at my worst, new Doc wants me to loose another stone! Jesus, Mary and Joseph!!! Is it any wonder I feel like **it and I'm always **ssed off? When I read all the Holy Joes banging on about self inflicted, and the hell mend you nonsense, I just want to punch someone, Grrrr! Ok, rant over. This article and the posts attached, has helped me realise that this is not my fault, it's a disease which I have to try and deal with, however, I still find it hard to cope at times. [/QUOTE]
