[QUOTE="Robinredbreast, post: 891451, member: 44643"] Sorry to read such a discouraging post. Type 1 diabetes is hard at times, I'm sure we have all gone through some kind of hate, why me? injections,hypo's, hypers, finger pricking, carrying the meds about, with a life time of many up's and downs. But 26 years ago, I weighed 8 1/2 stone, after being diagnosed, and now weigh, at 57 years old, just under 9 stone. I had my daughter at 42 1/2 years and a single parent for a lot of her 14 years, but that, was one of my most wonderful diabetes moments. Diabetes is a condition, and a big pain in the backside for sure. Try not to let it burden you, bring you down or take over your life, we can do anything if we set our minds to it, but sometimes, the life can get kicked out of us and I do hope you can find a way to get it back. There is a thread on the forum called Diabetes Burnout, please have a read if it, it maybe of help to you. All the best RRB. [/QUOTE]
