Peggymac · Dec 28, 2012

Hello all. I have been a Type 1 diabetic for 39 years diagnosed on my 21st birthday 1974. That means that I will be 60 next May. 3 years ago my husband and I moved to France to live in a small chateau in a beautiful remote place. We make our living by running 2 holiday lets which are part of our chateau. We have made a success of it. But, and there is a big BUT, often I am very unhappy. I suffer from depression and have been on Paroxeteine for a long time, having been on various different depression medications before that. I have also had various types of psychological counseling etc. The thing about depression is that when I am in a bad state, it feels like I have always been there! This is actually untrue, but right now I am feeling pretty low. I have a Diabetic consultant, a GP and even have had a counsellor made available to me here in France, but I have let things slide during the past year and have not bothered renewing appointments.

Anyway, I found this forum and have spent the last few days dipping into it. Thankyou so much for all the good information especially on the Low Carb diet. I have already started to try out the ideas and since then I have been feeling very much better.

When I started writing this post I was really in the doldrums but now I am more like my good natured self.

I will be back!
