[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2749905, member: 372207"] Hi Maggie, I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles. Yes, I can relate. I've been doing better with my depression/anxiety for the past year than I have in years, and every off day triggers the fear this is the start of going back, it truly is a horrible feeling. It might be worth looking into different diabetes medications than you have tried so far. Managing with diet is all good and well in a perfect world, but when you're juggling depression and anxiety alongside diabetes it only makes sense you can't keep all those balls in the air at the same time. But if medication can help you with your diabetes, at least your blood glucose will be at healthier numbers, and high BG is a trigger for fepression all by itself too! Don't hesitate to reach out to your diabetes nurse to discuss this, and don't hesitate to seek out help for your depression too. Needing a vent is one of the things this forum is a very good place for, keep venting if it helps! Wish you all the best, Antje [/QUOTE]
