[QUOTE="Bluey1, post: 1670159, member: 36344"] Hi, Yep I think most T1's go through it, I have been and yes it sneaks up on you. The first year you angry, denying it, etc. You get over that and number of years later for me at least, bang I was really over it, I didn't have an issue of being Diabetic, I was just over the grind. I suspect you are very diligent. I took a week off from being diligent and was a rebel, I cut down on those strip tests for a few weeks, I even skipped a number of meal bolus's. I found after a couple of weeks I was back on track again. Find a very very good friend have a big whinge then go out with them and have an awesome meal, remember your not diabetic for the evening, sweets have a double helping, please bolus for that. As Juicyj said, hang in there. If you are feeling really low a phycologist or physiatrist may help. Please I'm not inferring you are nuts, far from it, it's very normal, well as normal as the rest of us here. Don't go near a Libre or other CGM device whilst you are feeling this way as I find it kicks my butt into good behaviour and that is the last thing you need right now. No one can tell you how long it will last, but it will pass. The daily grind will become just a daily routine. I was told a number of medical professionals were turned into diabetics for a month 4 finger tests a day, 4 saline injections a day. None lasted 2 weeks and they expect us to do it for a lifetime, so whatever you do, don't beat yourself up. [/QUOTE]
