Hi all
please can someone help. Have only been a type 1 for less than 6 months on Lantus 14 units and novorapid. I have v g control of my levels but have been told my family that i have become exceptionally short tempered. I have even noticed this over the last few weeks especially the last 2 weeks. I have had an exceptionally bad year with t1 diagnosis and a nasty accident before diagnosis breaking multiple ribs in multiple places , threats of redundancy etc but i can't carry on being this irritable and short tempered. It is not fair on my family. I don't do it on purpose but have just become bad tempered!!!!!!!!!!! I have made an appointment to see the doctor later this week to see what he says. Is it normal to feel angry after diagnosis or even depressed and down. I have read about Lantus causing problems but it seems to be doing the job in keeping my bloos sugars steady so would be reluctant to change. My diabetic consultany was dead against me changing when i mentioned it to him 2 months ago.
Many Thanks
