Hi @liver1047 and sorry to hear you are feeling so low.
I suggest you contact your surgery tomorrow and try to get to speak to a GP or nurse and tell them exactly how you feel, rather than waiting 10 days to speak to them.
Are you on any medication for depression? And any other meds for diabetes apart from the insulin for 10 days?
It may be worth writing down exactly what you are feeling, and why (if you know the answer). It will help you when you speak to the health care professional.
In the meantime, all I can say is that this is a very caring forum and I'm sure we are all rooting for you.
Take care of yourself x
 
If you are feeling really low, eg: suicidal, please, please try to speak to someone asap, Samaritans are always there, you can chat online, if you have no-one else, see linky: or call them 116 123 for free.


I hope you find some positive resolution...

I'm glad you were able to tell us how you were feeling - no apology is necessary.
You've been able to tell us, please tell someone who can offer you some practical support. Are you alone - is there anyone in your home who can be with you and help you stay safe?

So sorry to hear how difficult you have found this week @liver1047 :care:

Elevated BGs can negatively affect mood, and they are frustrating too. You aren’t alone.

You are important, and we are rooting for you.

Do call NHS111, the Samaritans on 116 123, or check the MIND guide to getting help in a crisis

 
Hi @liver1047
so many others have already given you some advice to reach out for help

:thankyou: Please don’t wait 10 days to speak to your GP
you matter
and you need to call your GP Surgery

or 111
or as you’ve been taking Insulin have you ever spoken to either a Diabetes Specialist Nurse / the Diabetes Department at your local hospital.

I hope you speak to someone who can help you :care:
