[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2150478, member: 372207"] I don't know how your blood sugars are usually, but there is a very clear link between high bg and feeling horrible and depressed (I had been treated for depression for months before they found out I had diabetes. Depression got a lot better after diagnosis and getting healthier blood sugars). Apart from high bg, diabetes seems to give you a much higher risk of depression than non diabetics, so yes, it can be linked. Not proof though, of course. Who knows if you would've struggled with depression if you hadn't developed diabetes? Does it really matter if it's related? Apart from trying to manage your diabetes if you tend to run high a lot to see if that helps, it doesn't make much of a difference if diabetes is the cause or if it's just coincidence. A nasty part of diabetes and depression is that often the depression keeps you from doing diabetes things and the diabetes makes the depression worse and so on. Have you talked to your GP or someone else about your depression? [/QUOTE]
