[QUOTE="Diabeticmumof2, post: 2121764, member: 500509"] Thank you all for replying!! The one thing I do do is to take my insulin because I honestly would have been in a hospital by now... and I just can't do that because of my family. The problem for me is the fact I have these feelings about myself and it's a vicious cycle. It's the testing, feeling like I've failed having to take larger amounts of insulin then waiting for it to settle having to walk it down. My coping mechanism is to ignore what is bothering me and in turn ignore diabetes. I plough through and get on with it, that's not working for me. People think everything's fine, I got married I've had two children, I work. My anxiety makes me think about scenarios where people in my family die and what would happen.. as if it would really happen!. It's a strange place to be. Unfortunately I'm the last person to say I'm not doing well so this is going to be hard. It sounds silly to think that going to the Dr and the DSN is something that will be hard... My husband is fantastic but it's been so many years that I've dealt with diabetes he leaves me to it... Unless someone saw me inject or test (which I'm so quick at doing no one notices) you wouldn't know I had diabetes. Everyone is right I really just HAVE to sort this out. [/QUOTE]
