[QUOTE="Phillippa, post: 1480945, member: 408252"] I understand exactly how you feel because I'm the same. Diagnosed at 3 and almost 30years later I'm a disaster. I want to be better at the testing and eating better but I rarely do. Don't know if I moved into a denial type mode etc but so hard to get the motivation to change. When I was small my mother didn't test my sugars much and I continued on I suppose. My brother has identical twins one diagnosed 2years ago aged 9 and the other twin last month. I've heard they look up to me and that makes me want to do better, so I'm doing it slowly. And the comments above are good too. But find something that's makes you want to do this, a long term reason and start slowly. If you go whole hog it can get overwhelming and not encourage you to continue. I've done it enough times and it's like those fad diets people Do, all in for a week or two then go back to the old ways. Find your reason and a person to talk to openly to encourage you on but not to nag you about it! Best of luck x [/QUOTE]
