[QUOTE="stayingalive, post: 1587147, member: 440735"] Hi Emma I'm so sorry to read this - it really is tough isn't it? I find low and high blood sugar both make me feel worse and more depressed. On teh plus side, if you have even a day or two of better control, you will feel better. My last bout of depression was ended with just a few CBT sessions which led me to decide to find out about better control, and then I spent savings on the freestyle libre monitoring system. This is supposed to be available on the nhs from 1 November so you might find that helps. I find good control is the best cure for depression - especially if I do it by going for walks outside - possibly accompanied by carefully controlled small portions desirable carbohydrate (cake!!). This may not be the best advice for you, I admit, only my own (and my dad's) experience. My dad had Type 1 aswell and when he eventually died (at 78, not bad as he was diagnoised in about 1959) I found loads of small chocolate bars in his desk.... [/QUOTE]
