Diabetes Distress , Burnout etc ?

I have only been diabetic 8 months and I am definitely feeling a lot of anxiety , hopelessness and fear about things

I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for 40 years and am still here and living a nearly normal life. I can understand your feelings but you will be fine as long as you do what you are told by your medical team.

That might be true for a type 1 but for a type 2 it very much depends how useful your team are

I have a nurse and that's it

Can I suggest you contact a local support group. Those who attend these groups tend to be knowledgable on the condition and have already been where you are. they can share experiences and possible solutions.

Good luck and don't give up. you will get over this and if you are really struggling give the Caroline a ring. they are there to help.

Hi Taffy, I’m 72 and have been T2 for over 22yrs, most gp’s just tinker with diabetes, is your nurse a community diabetic nurse? If not get your gp to refer you to them, in my experience they are the experts.
