I was diagnosed 1-1/2 mos ago with Type 2 diabetes. With 1000 MG Metformin per day, my fasting glucose is now down to 90 on my Meter. But for some inexplicable reason, today I just feel like crying. I've been doing fine and very encouraged at how fast my body is responding to my diet and exercise, but I'm sitting here at work with a big lump in my throat on the verge of just bursting out in tears. Is this normal; is it a response to my blood sugar coming down? I'm also taking Linisopril and Simvastatin and a whole bunch of vitamins.

Well Starlynx . . . if you can take a little break to the rest room & just turn loose the waterworks, maybe the release is all you need. Who knows what brings on these emotions, but they're certainly real, and it's better to acknowledge them. I think it's normal . . . your body/mind/spirit is all entwined, and right now your body is getting some major readjustments. Not surprising that your emotions might be realigning too! You're doing fine! Hang in there! :hug:

Your body is going through some adjustments, it is OK to be emotional! I like what Shanny suggested, just to let it all out. A good cry can be a real relief at times. I hope you feel better soon!

Yes, you are not alone.
Diabetes is a real disease and has real side effects.
and some days, it flat out sucks
