How you feeling @cezli84 ? I've only been diagnosed since April and completely get where you're coming from - it's a massive life change to get your head around isn't it ? Please be assured you're not alone and not the only one to feel like this - by talking to each othe we will come out the other end I know we will xx

Hi @cezli84,

Diabetes is a ****, it can change your moods if your blood sugars are too high. You can become angry, depressed and stressed which raises your blood sugars further and then you're going round in circles without even realising. What level are your blood sugars at the moment?

Did you find the site page about moods? Maybe some of this information could be helpful to you at this point.

You arent alone, I was diagnosed last Oct & it changes everything, made me feel very isolated - although Im feeling better about it now, it still gets me down a bit from time to time.

This site & the people on it have been a great help for me, and Im sure will be for you too

Keep your chin up x

Sounds dramatic but its true. Its really getting me down and i cant stop crying. More low days than high, hardly go out, its totally taken over my life.Am i the only one who cant handle this??

It will get better, I have had it for nearly 30 years - T1. I am learning a lot of late - you are always learning new stuff. What insulin do you take? I take Humulin S (a short acting insulin) before meals and Humulin I (intermediate before bed) - this works quite well for me because I can adjust my doses before meals which gives me more flexibility, I feel it gives me more control.
