Hi! I am feeling the exact same as your I'm 24 and was diagnosed at 5 years old with type 1! I have the dexcom g5, I suffer from depression and contstanly get told to pull myself together I control mine as much as I can but I totally get that you don't have the headspace for it sometimes, I go through phases of not being great with it and all of a sudden having some sort of mental break down over it all, when I'm trying to cut out carbs I try things like omelette with veggies and hummus and carrot sticks, I'm looking for new meals too as it gets boring doesn't it, glad I'm not the only one feeling like this!

Hey Emily,
Definitely not the only one feeling like this. I’ve been working with my diabetes care team and will hopefully get funding for the Freestyle Libre in December. How are you finding the Dexcom G5? I definitely find it easier with a CGM to monitor blood glucose levels.
I find low carb meals can get really boring but recently I was told to try Joe Wicks recipes (thebodycoach on IG) as a lot of his stuff is low carb. Some of it has been quite good so far.
Feel free to chat if you ever need to vent. Emma x
