    Feeling Down

    Naturally, having a diabetes diagnosis shakes your world. I have known I am T2 for 7.5 weeks. I have rather overdone the 'learn a little everyday' and instead threw myself full pelt into research. It is no wonder I exhausted myself with overloaded information, some more accurate than others...

    Diabetes and Mental Health

    Even though I've only had type 1 diabetes for a month my mental health has dramatically lowered and it's been harder to stay positive about the subject. I feel more panicky when I take my injections even though I'm used to taking them. Any advice to stay optimistic?
