Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Odin004" data-source="post: 1486306" data-attributes="member: 406622">Hi @<a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/jemmaedias.274003/" target="_blank">jemmaedias</a>,I can't say whether it was the right prescription for you - however, I took Sertraline for a short while last year, and at the time, I recall being told that there was strong evidence (comparative to others) that it produced good results in people with diabetes - I strongly suspect that this is what your doctor was referring to.As for the warnings, any anti-depressant will have warnings about blood sugar control (so that's not specific to Sertraline) - however, I completely understand that the patient information leaflet on any drug can sometimes be enough to put you off taking it at all, especially if there are underlying anxiety issues; if you suffer from anxiety, this can also cause you to doubt yourself, and what you've been told.  Until you know how the Sertaline will affect you, you could always try a lower carb diet, for a short while, just to limit the amount of insulin in your system at any one time; and of course, check your sugars more regularly, to note any patterns.I don't know what specific issues you're facing - but you're clearly taking steps to overcome them; stay strong, and take your doctor's advice - if it helps, there's no harm in contacting your doctor just to check that everything's in order! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
