[QUOTE="phdiabetic, post: 1718992, member: 317494"] Agree with this, it is just not possible to stay in this range even if you do everything perfectly - your body is like a random number generator, you don't always know what's going on and it's impossible to predict what will happen. [USER=441787]@NoKindOfSusie[/USER] it's ok to be outside the range you want, and it's ok to call it a failure. But you have to be able to accept the failures, move on from them and learn from them. There are also degrees of failure. If my blood sugar is 9, it is a little bit high so I'm a little bit disappointed. If my blood sugar is 13, it is catastrophically high and is consequently a huge failure. But having bad blood sugars doesn't make ME a failure. As long as I tried my best and gave it the best effort I could, I never beat myself up about bad numbers. You can simultaneously recognise something is bad, but realise that you couldn't reasonably have prevented it. Then move on and do your best to treat it! If you did make a mistake, then acknowledge what it was so that you do better next time - but don't give up! [/QUOTE]
