[QUOTE="Dazza74, post: 2269690, member: 160536"] Hi, im after you advice regarding type 2 diabetes. Ive been a diabetic for over 15yrs. The last 2 years have been a nightmare. My mum died after a short illness and my wife has struggled with employment. On top of this i was diagnosed with clinical depression and sleep apnoea. During this time my sugar levels have ranged between 10 - 22. GP continues to play around with medications in order to get it under control but nothing ever works. Im currently on Glimepiride 4mg, Metform 1000mg twice and day and Empagliflozin 25mg. I was on liraglutide but that didnt have any affects. Im struggling keeping awake, not able to do any forms of activity, short tempered and have become suicidal. I am abit overweight and know losing a few pounds could help but with the low mood and other things my head isnt in the right place to start eating rabbit food. I dont over eat, the trouble is that i can go from getting up from work at 7am to eating at 2 or 3 in the afternoon. I physcially feel sick most mornings and just drink water and a couple of coffees. I desparate to get on something that will make a difference in my life. I dont know if the suicidal feelings are down to my glucose levels or because im still greiving for my mum. Is Insulin a route to go down? Thanks for reading Darren [/QUOTE]
