Diabetes fear

[Grace360]

So hello again. My anxiety has been getting better since a higher dosage of Zoloft, coping techniques. But it just came back to my mind now. Diabetes fear. My grandma and aunt have it. I'm afraid of it myself. There are diabetes related deaths. Going to the hospital due to it. Complications. Being too high or low in blood sugar can take you out. I've had many blood tests but none recently. I know one type Vann appear later in life. I also really like sweets so I worry one day just eating something will happen or something. Besides that is shortness of breath. Like I'm hyperventilating or can't get enough air. Or like I'm having too breath heavier for satisfaction. But it's mostly diabetes.

Does diabetes cause shortness of breath?

Does diabetes cause shortness of breath?

I don't believe so. Just a separate fear

I am prediabetic with a strong family history of type 2 diabetes on my father's side. I am also almost 56; I assume you are much younger since you have a living grandmother. I found out I was prediabetic 6 years ago and I reduced the carbohydrates in my diet a LOT (think Keto, Atkins, paleo, whatever). My situation has not gotten any worse in 6 years, as I have stuck to the low carb diet and I don't cheat. What 'takes people out' with diabetes is a failure to control it properly, and diet is a huge part of that. I had a sweet tooth too but I had to modify my diet away from that, although there are other sweeteners like Splenda which don't affect blood sugars so those can be used. Carbohydrates (sugars, starches) raise blood sugar much more than anything else, and most people eat way too much sugar.

I just.. fear. Like I have uncontrolled diabetes and if I eat too much ice cream one night I'll just succumb to it. Stops me from truly "living life" I guess as a 15 year old.
