[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2359628, member: 85785"] Hi and welcome to the forum. I will agree with everything above, especially the food diary and testing and recording. I too have severe anxiety and also depression due to circumstances beyond my control. In fact I had counselling this morning, which was stressful before, and so tiring. One of the things I have learned is to walk, especially after meals, this helps so much with glucose levels. Another good way of progressing is by talking about all your fears to someone you trust, who can help through this and the pandemic. Because of the way your body works, and how glucose levels effect your brain, if you have an imbalance in how your hormonal response to food will increase your anxiety, That is why walking is so good after food. And drink plenty of water and make sure your salt levels are ok. You are now back in or around normal levels, when did you have your last Hba1c? You say you have issues with postprandial symptoms., after three to four hours, have you checked your levels at this time? Are you still on meds other than metformin? What symptoms are affecting you? Do you know what a hypo feels like? Sorry about the questions, but it might help in how to advise you on what you need to do. Keep safe and keep calm, if you need to chat, I can help you. [/QUOTE]
