[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2121768, member: 503481"] Hello, sending you a big ol’ hug! I just wanted to say you are a stong mummy with a beautiful family. It must have taken some strength in you to talk to us. What you are experiencing is very common among us. I would like to add that mental health and depression is a difficult balancing act. Not testing does indeed fuel depression and combining it with everything else. If you get help for your mental health, with the right therapy and if you decide to go for medication it might help with your mindset towards diabetes and everything else. However diabetes still needs its testing and management. I wouldn’t call it a failure if you tested your glucose. Diabetes is always a learning curve and it is asking for some TLC from you. While CGM might be difficult to get, if your diabetes team offer you a libre sensor which is a FGM, you’ll need to scan to get a result. But a libre does make our lives a bit easier, scan and off you go. Once you got everything going, you can then focus on your body and other parts of you that need love. So do get on the phone to your doctor and diabetes team. You are not alone and we are with you on every step of the way. [/QUOTE]
