burnout

Hi all, this is my first post on here and honestly not sure why or what I'm hoping to achieve with it, but I feel like I need to get it off my chest and share it. For the past few months I've been suffering with diabetes burnout and generally not looking after my diabetes as well as I used to...

Hi, I’m 24 years old and have been type 1 for 13 years, for the majority I have tried my best to control my sugars but not been the best. I am on ramipril for kidney protection and recently had an eye exam where it was noted I have cataracts in both eyes but they do not need treatment as of yet...

Hi I am really struggling at the moment. I have been trying to communicate my concerns with my doctors for so long I’ve lost all hope or fight to look after myself at all. I really struggle with MDI due to complex mental health issues and I know a pump would take away some of that struggle...

Hi, I understand I’m probably experiencing ‘diabetes burnout’, I’m still in suspected honeymoon phase and am still struggling to ‘get it right’ with my readings consistently being up and down between 5-17! I had a scare yesterday as I started experiencing symptoms of high blood sugars and...

Hi everyone I've been trying to get a hand on my diabetes properly for the last couple of months, for the most part i've succeeded. Until recently :( over the last week i'm struggling to keep my sugars below 10, if it carries on for another 2 or 3 days i'm considering increasing my Tresiba by 1...

Hi I was diagnosed with T1 7 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. It was a whirlwind, I was put on insulin at 24 weeks pregnant and then got the insulin pump during my second pregnancy 3 years later. My management during my pregnancies was great both times - very tough but I made...

I am 22 years old and have had type 1 diabetes for 11 years, the past few weeks i seem to be really anxious of getting complications, i haven't had the best control in 11 years but im trying now and i just keep thinking its too late to reverse any damage and this is causing me extreme anxiety...

Although I’ve had T1D for 4 years now, it’s finally really hit me that anything could happen if I don’t manage my blood sugars. I don’t know what to think; even though my A1C is 6.6, I still freak out when I go high. I’ve been crying a lot lately because I feel frustrated and scared- I think...

Hello lovlies, So recently I've found I've been going through what I imagine to be 'burnout' and I can feel myself slipping into being lazy and just not looking after myself as I used to - no matter how much I want to be on top of my bloods I just can't. I was wondering if anyone had any tips...

Hi All, I have been reading through the forum and have found it helpful... thank you all for sharing your lives. I have been diabetic for around 10 years and can honestly say that I have never really had it under control for longer than a few months at a times and then it has spiralled again...

Im 18 years old and have T1D since 11, it has been badly controlled for years due to burnout. my blood sugars are still high but at the moment i am starting to eat very healthily. i want to do exercise and i look forward to it but every time im about to, i check my blood sugar and it's too...

I realised recently that I am going through denial. I was diagnosed with Type I 15 years ago, and have been on a pump for 10. I recently got a new pump, and although I test myself fairly regularly, I don't test the 5 times per day that I should. After reading some posts online I realised that I...
