[QUOTE="Marcus1234, post: 1824790, member: 476626"] Hi BibaBee, I cannot give much advice on Diabetes because I'm a newbie, who was diagnosed 2 weeks ago. What I can say is I suffer with terrible health anxiety and without the help from the forum users I would still be playing the what ifs, and guessing game, I was feeling how your husband is feeling with health anxiety. I knew something was wrong and was trying to guess and kind of self diagnose myself. The forum helped me take small steps that got me to visit my doctors and get a proper diagnosis and the treatment I needed. I know your situation is not the same as mine but my health anxiety is the same as your husbands. When I went to my doctors 2 weeks ago they told me it had been 2 years since my last visit, the GP surgery said they had sent letters out asking me to attend for blood test, I pretended I hadn't received them but I had, and I had ignored them and hidden them from my wife. My wife has been a tower of strength and supported me like you are doing with your husband. Unfortunately when we get in a low with the health anxiety it can take quite a while to come out of it, but we do. I would also like to say that your husband appreciates your help, love and support, I appreciate my wife and the help, love and support she gives me even though we don't always open up and show it at times. Good luck and big hugs [/QUOTE]
