I have labs every other month and all have been great but magnesium was low. I see my transplant Dr in a few weeks and I am going to talk to him. I am only on prograf for immunosuppressants. Lately I am so tired and feeling depressed thought the tiredness was due to the high sugars before I went on insulin. I am embarrassed that I am even depressed being how appreciative I am for relieving a transplant. Thank you

@stolson1, never be embarassed about feelings, especially feeling depressed. It's an opportunity to explore why. You feeling depressed may be related to fatigue, medication, low blood sugar or other physical influences. You may also be working through some emotions. Being given the gift of life is emotional. Light and dark live together. So can gratitude and sadness.

Please do bring up your feelings of depression when you see your transplant team. I'll be interested to hear what you learn.
