[QUOTE="copilost, post: 2115934, member: 510611"] Ah it's difficult for sure and sorry you're feeling under siege! Everyone is different or in a different place, some people need reassurance, some people need guidance, some people need facts, etc etc. Some people (I'm looking at my brother here) need a kick up the encouragement zone :D and cheerfully instruct me to do same....and then argue vigorously with me as to why I'm wrong and shouldn't be meddling.....and then thank me for the assist:banghead: Fortunately this group appears to offer all the flavours of help that are available, just pick the ones that work for you. For my twopenny-worth, don't be horrid to yourself (it never helps and just leads to "treat" therapy), accept you're not quite where you want to be and it's worth keeping the goal even though you haven't "succeeded" yet, and acknowledge that a stable HbA1c on lower meds is definitely a WIN.
