hmj83,

As a suggestion I would either see another gp in the practice or ask to be referred over to the care of the diabetes clinic at your local hospital, anxiety and panic attacks should be taken seriously and I'm very surprised your doctor has not acted.

Hopefully if you do get referred they will work with you to stabilise your bg levels and see if that helps with the anxiety and panic attacks, if it doesn't then they'll write to your gp anyways with a view to start some treatment.
