Hi...I also haven't posted here in a looong time! This discussion touches me, because I just started therapy for anxiety/panic too, after refusing effexor from my GP, and I am starting to wonder if there IS a diabetes connection, even just in that we have to worry about our numbers so much, and what we eat and where the next meal is coming from when we're out, and if we have sugar with us, and did we forget our meter....etcetcetc....it is a very anxiety provoking illness to have.

I had never considered that maybe it was a vitamin/mineral deficiency, so thanks for mentioning that.

I do think it might be important to talk about diabetes in my own therapy sessions, because I do think it is a big part of my underlying anxiety. I have become a control freak, and don't deal well with situations I can't control.

It has made me feel better in a way to read I am not the only one feeling this way...maybe we can all figure what to do together, and support each other? I am tired of being afraid all the time.
