Currenly im haveing a rough time with my panic\anxiety which has seemed to flair up again.Ive done cbt and also i do relaxation which helps to a point.Also resently been told i have type 2 diabities so am not sure what is anxiety symptoms and whats diabities?.

If you have diabetes .. Some of the symptoms are very similar to anxiety but if you are a new diabetic type 2 I think that you can control it with a diet.. it depends on how advanced it is.. I was told I was a type 2 over 10 years ago. I was 225 pounds at 6 ft tall..That was way overweight. I got down one time to 148 pounds and have several times after that.. Im usually at 174 which is very good for me. I don't eat a lot of sweets . I use artifical sweetner in coffee.. and also diet sodas and usually low sugar or sugar free treats.. But over time I lost the taste for sugar.. and don't really even care for it that much..

I think if you can control it.. your symptoms will be mostly anxiety , but then again you really need to have a chat with your doctor. .Make a list of questions about your condition and also what you can and cannot do and so on..and what kind of things you can expect and what would call diabetes symptoms and what you call anxiety.. Mine are mostly anxiety since my diabetes hasn't reared its ugly head since I started eating right.. Now if it will continue I don't know..My family had terrible diabetics in it.. My mother had diabetes but she lived doing pretty much what she wanted for 79 years and no medical or very little so maybe everything will be ok for you too.. Anyway we are all here for you to help..
