You explained pretty much how I feel, I even take mitazepene! I don't have the agoraphobic feelings you mention but I do feel a lot of the time that I just want to remain at home rather than be bothered to go out, but I do make myself do it to break the circle i.e. If u give in to it it gets worse. I have managed my type 2  for 5 years now by diet but yesterday I had to have metformin as my stats were up, I don't want it as it causes the runs!! I believe my diabetes was brought on by my underactive thyroid for which I take levothyroxine, thyroid causes anxiety aswell, and I have got ptsd caused by being treated for 3 1/2 years for angina, I didn't have angina as it turned out but the damage was done by then, the trauma of two angiograms and numerous ambulance call outs for "funny turns", I believe these episodes were caused by the angina drugs not being compatible with levothyroxine, once it was discovered I did not have angina and the meds discontinued, the "funny turns" stopped, hence this is why I am taking a low dose of   mirtazapine. At least I know I am not the only one! As for the hbA1c being accurate I can only accept what I am told, initially I did the glucose drink test but it came back with the readings back to front so I have the hbA1c test every 6 months, I find weight impossible to lose due to the thyroid aswell, but at least I know someone else feels the same as me!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
