If you’ve been newly diagnosed as diabetic, or if you’ve been a diabetic for years, you’re bound to have bouts of depression due to fluctuations in blood sugar. Being diagnosed with a disease is definitely a depressing realization. One of the biggest challenges a diabetic has is to keep her or her blood sugar stabilized. When a person’s blood sugar is too high, she or he will have sadness and less energy. Whenever you are feeling blue, it may not be your job or a situation that’s getting you down. Test your blood sugar with your glucose meter even if you think the numbers will be okay. The meter is not there to judge you; it’s to help you. If your blood sugar is too high, you know you need to take more medication. Taking drugs sucks, but depression sucks even more!
