[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1814261, member: 429870"] Forgive me if I have already suggested this: I recommend that you borrow or buy Jenny Ruhl's book "Your Diabetes Questions Answered" [URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Your-Diabetes-Questions-Answered-Practical-ebook/dp/B071YW7LVW/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1529266200&sr=1-5&refinements=p_27%3Ajenny+ruhl']https://www.amazon.co.uk/Your-Diabetes-Questions-Answered-Practical-ebook/dp/B071YW7LVW/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1529266200&sr=1-5&refinements=p_27:jenny+ruhl[/URL] She writes in a very calming and easy to understand way. One of the points JR makes early in the book is that while it is really important to start taking steps to lower our blood glucose if it is high, we should not be too fearful as nothing bad is going to happen to us overnight. Diabetic complications take years to develop. As long as you are starting to learn how to eat, starting to think of ways you can get medical help without going to a hospital or GP surgery and on track to get help to overcome your anxieties with CBT, progress is being made. My inexpert opinion is that a lot of your symptoms are anxiety driven. Even if some of them have a physical cause, you could try saying to yourself that you are not going to die of feeling dizzy, however unpleasant those feelings may be. This is a phase you are going through. Eventually the CBT will help you and so will changes to your diet and maybe medicines. You won't have to put up with this forever. [/QUOTE]
