Thank you @Former-Member, @Eden1919, @eudemonism, @Adge, @Former-Member, @Boo13 for all your replies

I think it would be good to have regular checkups , a simple blood test to find out , Just have to make a appt for my husband , his cholestrol is up and sugar is up but not diabetes yet

sending you all knowing hugs and forward we go together

Re: Contracting Diabetes while on anti anxiety medication

Understand @Shaz51,I've gave up losing weight , I'm not motivated at the moment, don't get too obsessed with it, that's not healthy either I have been that way too.

Re: Contracting Diabetes while on anti anxiety medication

don't get too obsessed with it, that's not healthy either -- that is it @Former-Member

Hi @Shaz51 and replying about getting Type 2 Diabetes whilst taking anti-depressant medication. Have been on same for many years and thankfully have not developed this condition. Have put on some weight but try to counter balance this with walking exercise. Thank you for your naming me in the forum members and trust you are keeping fair health. Best wishes from Bimby2.

Re: Contracting Diabetes while on anti anxiety medication

Hi @Shaz51 exercise? Even though it may be difficult. Regular exercise is the best advice i can give you even if it's fifteen minutes in the morning and fifteen during the afternoon. Plus lower the sugar consumption. I struggle with weight and motivation to exercise and eat healthy. It comes and goes with different stages of the seasons and weather. Eude.
