Help requested for depression and diabetes

Posted By Kathy (Dumfries, Scotland) on 03/23/2014

I am an elderly lady in her early eighties with type 2 diabetes on metformin and gliclazide. For the last year or so I have suffered from the most debilitating depression and am not quite sure what to do - its almost turned me into a zombie. I really do not want to go on anti depressants. Any advice, please, please. Many thanks.

Hello Kathy from Scotland;

About the depression issue...

You mention the depression has overtaken you in the past year and that you take Metformin for diabetes.

Side effects for Metformin list depression as one side effect.

Go back to you doctor and get a change in prescription.

Better, look at Earth Clinic's "Ailments" under diabetes and get an alternative cure to your diabetes...one that has no side effects.

Your problem is CHEMICALLY induced. Have hope...there really is a solution.

Kathy from Scotland,

Re Diabetes...by the way, in addition to my previous post.... I just suggested for another poster a wonderful nutrient for their condition and that SAME nutrient, called by some "Cell Integrity Factor" is fantastic for diabetes. Do a google search for "Nutrition Review Calcium AEP" a true miracle nutrient.

You can get it on line. That article discusses a dozen conditions that AEP can turn around and diabetes is one of them.

If me, I'd take four AM and four PM.
