Hi
Is feeling low, no energy or motivation, just feeling 'uck' typical of badly controlled blood sugars, please?

I'm Type 2, struggling to stick to any remote resemblance of 'healthy' food, and not feeling up to much. I've had a very stressful and extremely busy time over the past 2 1/2 yrs, during which period I was diagnosed, so never really had the opportunity to sort out suitable foods. Although I still have stresses, time is more available but I just can't be bothered to plan, shop and prepare meals etc. I don't have the physical or mental energy now.

When particularly low, I just want to eat something sweet, of course, maybe in an attempt to 'pick myself up' Of course this doesn't work!!!

Is this apathy, lack of motivation etc associated with badly controlled blood sugars? If so, with correct diet and better control, roughly how long does it take to feel better (appreciating that everyone is different)?
st
Thanks for any help
Cheers

Still a bit shell shocked.they say it comes in 3,s I SINCERELY HOPE IT WRONG.just finished work cause of clinical depression and other problems.The only plus is I now know why I feel so horrid. I hope I can sort my diet ,but i am a comfort eater and sweet and as far from healthy as you can get goes.
 
I feel for you, I'm feeling the same but have been put back on my antidepressants as my sugar is under control doc says it's unlikely to be that and more likely to be depression and anxiety appearing again... Chin up
