Hi @Shaz51 and everyone,
I have diabetes was diagnosed last year in June. It is around 7 or below most mornings.
I was on medication for depression and psychosis for a short time (about 1.5 years) and I wonder if its all related but how do you prove if it is. End of the day its on both sides of my family and even though I'm younger than when my father was diagnosed I am more sedentary.
I just take a pill in the morning to get it regulated and seems ok most of the time with the occasional hypo. I have to get blood tests every 3 months and I'm terrible to take blood from so its always a mission. Since COVID lockdown here I've put on a few extra kilograms which makes me upset but end of the day it is what is it for now. I joined the NDSS which has been good - sent information and offers seminars every few months. I hope that helps.
