Having type 2 I'm petrified. Medication is Metformin 500mg x4, Simvistatin 40mg, Gliclazide 80mg x2 and Escatlopram 40mg for severe anxiety and severe contamination OCD. I am overweight, have sleep apnea which is controlled. I'm petrified and very anxious, I'm not going out, I'm worried about my son mixing with friends. I'm stressed, worried and scared!
