[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2281459, member: 53162"] My 2 key points from this are ‘there are no good or bad’ as results we get from health care professionals are used to as a tool to explain how we manage our diabetes and the language then used in association with this can create an emotive reaction, so a ‘good’ HbA1c result can indicate we are doing well and of course will make us feel happy but a ‘bad’ result can then create many negative emotions which can compound our ability to ask for help and find a solution, correct terminology and phrasing is key in helping diabetics manage well. I also see a lot of t1’s comparing and measuring themselves against each other on social platforms, remembering we are all unique is vital to avoid negative feelings of shame and depression. My management and daily routine and physiology is unique to me, it cannot be mirrored against anyone else. [/QUOTE]
