Hi Treborsenoj, welcome to the forum
🙂 Sorry to hear you are feeling rubbish

Do you measure your blood sugar levels using a blood glucose monitor? If you levels are high or fluctuating then this may be exaggerating your mental health problems, as poorly-controlled levels can have a big effect on your moods

What injection are you on and how long have you been on it? Some of these once-a-week injections produce symptoms such as nausea and acid, so it could be that your body is still adjusting to it and will hopefully the symptoms will reduce in time.
How did your diagnosis come about? What sort of levels have you been getting that have persuaded the doctor that the usual tablets weren't working? Do you know what your HbA1c was at diagnosis? Sorry for all the questions, but it does give us a better idea of your situation and how we might be able to suggest things to improve it for you

Often, people don't get good information about how to go about managing their diabetes at diagnosis, unfortunately. I would recommend 'starting afresh' and putting the past 4 months behind you. Have a read of the excellent
Maggie Davey's letter and get yourself a copy of
Type 2 Diabetes: The First Year by Gretchen Becker. These should give you a good understanding of what it all entails and hopefully put you in a streonger position when discussing things with your nurse or doctor - rather than just being told what to do, if you understand things better you will be able to make more informed judgements about the advice you are being given.
Depending on the circumstances of your diagnosis there is a possibility that you have been misdiagnosed. If your symptoms appeared over a short period, your HbA1c was high, and the initial programme of medication had little effect then I would press your GP to consider whether you may actually be a slow-onset Type 1 (sometimes referred to as LADA - Latent Autoimmune Deficiency in Adulthood - or Type 1.5). It's important that you get a correct diagnosis so that you can receive the most appropriate treatment

If you don't currently test your blood sugar levels at home I would highly recommend asking for a monitor and a prescription for test strips. If the GP turns you down then it is worth funding your own for a short period whilst you gather evidence to show the GP that it is helping you to understand how your food choices affect your blood sugar levels and improve - have a read of
Test,Review, Adjust by Alan S to understand how this can be achieved. Faced with the evidence, many GPs will then give a prescription for test strips. The cheapest option we have come across is the
SD Codefree Meter which has
test strips at around £8 for 50.
Remember, you are not alone in this and there are many knowledgeable, friendly people here who will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have, so please let us know if we can help in any way
