Wow that has to be awful dealing with that. I'm very sorry. I have a sister who's been diabetic for 30 years. My inquiry isn't about your insulin problem. I'm wondering if there's something you can take for your other issues related to the outbursts and anger. I know as a cancer patient I had to stop my hormones. My hot flashes were horrible. I started taking 20mg citalopram then halved them so now 10mg have cut the hot flashes by about 60%. I also noticed that I have more energy and more interest in doing things around the house. I'm not a huge fan of antidepressants, hence taking lowest mg possible, but have found a happy medium. If I decide I want to stop, I'll just half them again to 5mg and taper off. The dose is so low, but still does its job, that I'm not worried about withdrawal. I truly hope you find something that works. It's horrible waking up not knowing if your day will be calm or really physical. I'll say a prayer for you too. 🙏🏻❤️

Hi,
Putting up with the ravishes of Diabetes is the better of the two evils for the moment. Doctors have tried to medicate my temper and all it ever did was to make it permanent 24/7. My doctor is starting to realise medication for me is a big problem. As time goes by it is getting worse and there is no answer as nobody has ever reported such side effects. Fortunately I'm able to manage the problems and carry on life as best I can, at least for the moment I can control the situation by stepping away from tricky situations.
Cheers
