Hi everyone,
I've had type one diabetes for six years now (diagnosed aged 26 in 2011) and I'm still struggling to get to grips with it. I've often described myself as a 'functioning diabetic' - getting by, but only just getting by - but over the last few months I've really been struggling with my control. I'm just getting a bit sick of it all, which I know is stupid because it's not like my diabetes is going anywhere! Does anyone have any tips/advice for dealing with this burnt out feeling and getting back on track?
Any advice much appreciated!
