[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1840027, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=133463]@EveryCloud[/USER] Sorry to hear you are feeling this way. Sadly the alcohol is a depressant, so this will only make you feel worse, so cutting back or eliminating it will help lift your mood very quickly. As someone who is insulin dependent I can personally vouch for the fact that insulin has saved my life, I don't think any type 2 who is worried about taking insulin should worry when it's vital for managing your blood glucose levels and preserving your life, what is more important is controlling your blood glucose levels which will also help improve your mood, speak to your DSN/Consultant as soon as you can and ask for help, state how you are feeling and if possible see if they can get you in asap to review your management and treatment. Ignore your brother, our siblings can very often be incredibly insensitive, it's not their fault as they know very little and don't live in our shoes with this daily. Finally take deep breaths, get out for a walk, try meditation and be kind to yourself, if you still find you are struggling then please call the Samaritans and speak to someone about how your feeling (116 123), take care :) [/QUOTE]
