Thank you everyone posting on this thread - was quite happy on diagnosis in November 2009 - in fact relieved to find a reason for feeling like sh!! - been trying very hard on the exercise & diet- lost 8kg in weight -bought own testing kit and feeling that i was getting to grips with the situation -then slide of the happiness scale big time - very nearly walked out of work - went to see GP on friday - not much sympathy there for my depressive state-showed GP my test results and prescribed another 80mg Gilcgazide - now on 3x500mg Metformin & 2x 80mg Glicgzide- further depressed as I feel as though all my hardwork on eating healthly-switched to low GI foods - and exercising -are having no effect on the situation and I could knock Grumpy Old Women it to a cocked hat ...no contest on the irritability scale !!!

So your posts about moods and your progress have given me comfort in my hour of need - thnak you
