I'm type 1 diagnosed 5 1/2 years ago at the age of 24.  I had a really long honeymoon period so eased through my first 2-3 years, thinking I could handle it. Since that ended, I've never had a particularly good hba1c.  Actually having to carb count and work everything out to exercise has become a chore and a bore and I think I'm now in burnout.  I have spent a month or two (still injecting) really not paying attention to carb counting just guessing and hoping for the best. Managing to stay under 15 most days.I had my diabetic eye screening and they told me I have early signs of retinopathy. Then a night or two ago, hyperglycaemia woke me up, >25.  That was when I realised, its not just a number on a meter.... it's my life.  I don't know any diabetics. I guess I was hoping for a friendly message to not feel so alone.Thanks!Happy New Year!</blockquote>
