Friend, I mean this in the nicest possible way, with understanding as someone who has personal experience with both anxiety and insulin issues. I’ve noticed your name on a lot of threads which all demonstrate “catastrophization” and extremely high levels of fear over low risk situations. Levels of fear that are disproportionate. You need to see a doctor about it.
Anxiety isn’t you being crazy or your fault. It could be something as simple as a chemical imbalance. You don’t need to live like this though, it’s exhausting being this afraid all the time and that energy could be far better spent on things that truly improve your life.
Please consider it, I know I’m not the first person to tell you this. Acknowledge the pattern, and talk to a professional. It’s hard but very very worth it.
As a sufferer of illness anxiety disorder, what you’re describing sounds a lot like the thought processes I went through before seeking therapy for it.
You’ve described very little evidence indicating you have diabetes, but a ton of evidence indicating you have illness anxiety disorder. I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose you, but my suggestion is to talk to a professional who can.
#1 Go to the doctor.
#2 Take a walk. Power walk. It’s healthy and fun!
I’m pretty sure this is a troll account. Personally, I’m blocking it because I keep seeing these kinds of troll posts from this account popping up all over the place.
- see a therapist, suicidal thoughts should be treated seriously
- if you’re worried about sugar in your diet, stop eating sugar
- if you’re worried about diabetes, get a glucose meter and measure your blood periodically.
If you feel like you’ve eaten too much sugar, drink plenty of water. Like a pint or so, not loads over a long time but a decent amount to literally water down the sugar. Water is also used in many of the biochemical processes so it helps metabolism.
If you’ve been tested and it’s come back negative, then you’re not diabetic. That doesn’t mean you can’t become diabetic later in life, but you’re not going to be needing insulin shots or anything like that.
i love water, its the only liquid i consume, and i do that because i like simplicity and its tastier
Having the fear of having imaginary disease is called being hypochondriac, the good new is that it’s a legit medical condition. Have a talk with your doctor about it rather than with Internet strangers
Go away kid.
