[QUOTE="alphabeta, post: 1877936, member: 419831"] I personally had something like diabetes burnout. I never dropped testing, skipping meals, or not taking insulin, I just did not care at all about my sugar levels at all. I could easily reach above 20 mmol/L and not give a **** about it. Then, this forum with its wonderful people showed me the path, i.e. told me about basal bolus regime and explained the real danger of sugar spikes. I still learn, but whenever I feel down, nothing makes me motivated except writing my feelings down on a paper, take a deap breath and pour all my emotions. This has helped me always to keep moving forward. I also keep thinking about the good moments I had with diabetes control, something I never thought it was possible, I stopped waking up high, I stopped having high BG after breakfast particularly, and as a result I stopped being high :) (pun intended). What helped me the most is to open up to other diabetics, they understand, not like those pricks who tell me that 4 tests a day are more than enough! Have faith in yourself dear, you are your best friend. Talk to your best friend and listen to him. [/QUOTE]
