[QUOTE="Stuboy, post: 40558, member: 7759"] Have you spoken to your care team about this? I thought i was "depressed" as well, always feeling low all the time, but some time with the care team and professionals they decided it wasn't depression, but a thing they call "diabetes burden". Diabetes Burden can have symptoms of depression, but is caused by all the things we as type 1's have to deal with, such as always having to think about how much insulin to take, taking all the injections, remembering all the doses and injection times and carryings the pens and meters and needles, etc with you every where you go... But if someone was to take that all away, we would probably feel much much better. I think it's important to find out (if you haven't already) whether you are suffering from actual depression or Diabetes Burden. If it's diabetes burden there may be things that you can do differently to eliviate the burden and make life generally easier. [/QUOTE]
