Message: <blockquote data-quote="Prem51" data-source="post: 1496675" data-attributes="member: 209498">Hi [USER=414406]@GerardSinclair[/USER] and welcome to the forum. The shock of being diagnosed as diabetic is traumatic and does seem to have triggered your depression. The depression will make you imagine the worst scenario for your diabetes. But try not to stress and worry as stress can raise your blood sugars too. I know you will think that is a difficult thing to do, but please understand that you can control this condition.Your readings of 9.1/8.1 aren't very high. There are many on here who have reduced their bs levels from much higher than that to pre-diabetic or non-diabetic levels. Some have done it fairly quickly, within 3 months, others take longer. Our bodies are all different.Many of us have found that adopting a Low Carbohydrate High Fat (LCHF) approach to eating has reduced our bs levels and often our weight too.Also people who have had neuropathy or retinopathy have found these have improved or gone completely as they reduced their bs levels. Your toes are not about to drop off! You are not going to have your feet amputated! You are not going to die!You can restore your body to health and you will feel better.You will get a lot of good advice and support on here. Ask anything you want to. the people on here are friendly and supportive.</blockquote>
