I may be low on my Diabetes results but why I keep getting thrush is beyond me. My partner is not effected. I have had thrush on and off for 2+ years and I cant wait to get this sorted.

It gets to a point where it starts to ruin your life, and effecting where you go and what you do. If I am going somewhere of importance my thrush is worse becuase I am thinking about all day.

I have been suffering with real bad anxiety over the last week so I think, I have every single problem under the sun which inturn is making me feel worse.

I have also given up smoking, which is making me feel even worse.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is flush?

Was the two glucose measurements taked once before and once after you drank a sweet syrup like drink? This is a glucose tolernce test, which measures post prandials(pp=after carb consumption) to the extremes.

Anxiety afflicts tons of diabetes. I am one of them, I know a dozen or two more that anxiety interferes with health - because of the concisous/subcouncious stress on diabetes.

What's funny for me with anxiety, is unless it's about health, I really don't get it bad. Like worrying recently about money and being in between contracts, its scary not knowing where you could be living in a couple of months and whther it will work out blah, blah.

That type of stress, a lot of business peopleget anxiety about such bills and financial furtures. IMHO a business stressor/trigger for anxiety, is like nothing remotely close in comparison to having to deal with health problems; or health controls(on the upside). Its just so easy to control the anxiety worries of money (and its lows) compared to health worries.

Mick has great meditative advice on here. Should check out some of his threads.
