Hello,
Apologies in advance as it's been a long time since I've logged on, but need help.
Need to know if anyone has had a direct impact of being under so much stress (work / personal / whatever) other than BG control. Within the last 30 days I have had to start Zoloft due to Panic / Anxiety Attacks and Thursday I was in the ER due to one because I thought I was going to have a heart attack! Doctor indicated that this is affecting my kidneys, in the long run not to mention other things. I know it is harmful, but can anyone really say they had something diversly affect them due to something like this? Please advise.
I have a very stressful job that has eaten up my life for 9 1/2 months. I went on the pump back in July just to try and get a handle on my sugars. (Pump is great!) but still have LOTS of sugars 225+ due to the stress. I'd say at least half of my sugars if not more are in that range.
PS. My job is very aware that I am Type I to no avail they keep piling on the work and pressing me! Any advice? I can't go on like this but am the family provider......?
Thanks for any input!
