Hi keishamarie. I think your right about your Diabetic team. Don't let the ******** get you down because you have done so well losing that weight and getting better control all by yourself. I know that hormone levels can affect your control but you can change your carb ratio on those days to see if it helps. Just remember you are doing it for YOU not them so forget their moansI'm the same as a lot of you guys but my medical team is shocking! Like my 3 monthly check is in October but I haven't heard from my nurse I don't even know her name that's how bad it is..they're ***** if I'm honest and any time I go to the hospital they just moan like over and over since starting this new job I've lost nearly 3 stone and my control has been so much better but I'll have a few bad readings around ,y period (sorry tmi) but the nurse will just moan about them rather than actually say to me well done for loosing weight or getting control and that just adds to me giving up and thinking there's no point but I know there is obviously. Urgh people without diabetes just don't understand
Does anyone else get to a point, after a while of having diabetes of just not wanting to care, giving up and just thinking f**k it?
I am at that point right now, I've been diabetic for nearly 8 years now and it's doing my head in!!
Everyone is so supportive but it just doesn't matter to me, I'm so down about it all. I already suffer with depression and anxiety but it just seems to be getting worse.
Please tell me I'm not the only one?
Thanks xo
Hi m8. I know how you feel. I've been T1D for 23yrs now , and to tell you the truth I don't know how I've coped. There has been times when I feel that's enough I what to get of the bus. But I think and thank God that am alive and can breath the air. You just have to push through the dark time, and think it could be worse. Good luckIts probably very normal to feel this way. The pressure of living with Diabetes is more than people care for. A lot of the time I get a little down or peed off with my blood results and hypos etc but youve no choice but to learn how to deal with it. I find that talking is the best way, with both diabetics and non diabetics. When I was at School I pretty much acted like I never had Diabetes and hated when people asked. I found it very difficult to fit in with friends who were going the shop and buying shed loads of sweets and drinks and id be stuck with a pack of sugarfree polos that would probably give me the runs. Lets be honest, who wouldnt get down about that?
The thing is, it gets easier. I know youve had it for 8 years but it took me till early adulthood to get used to mine. Nowadays, I kind of enjoy testing my blood and recording data on my glucose diary app and looking at graphs for the year etc. Everyone has their own ways of dealing with it. Its not the worst illness if you are sensible and nowadays you can eat pretty much what you want if you know how to count carbs (when I was first diagnosed I was on insulin called mixtard which was a mix of long and short acting insulin together, this meant I couldnt eat a single amount of sugar because I couldnt take extra short acting to compensate like I can nowadays).
Keep positive man and try to get some way of making it interesting such as researching medication and the history of diabetes medicine or something! Always here to chat if you need a friend mate!

Have you spoken to your diabetes team about how you're feeling?Hi I’m 15 years old I’ve only had diabetes for 4 years and I have already given up, it’s so tiring and I’ve not been looking after it properly for a few months now, I don’t know what to do either
Hi I have to admit that I pretty much ignored my diabetes in my teens (it was easier in those days because it was pre glucometers, so ignoring it meant I ate what I liked and didn't do urine tests).Hi I’m 15 years old I’ve only had diabetes for 4 years and I have already given up, it’s so tiring and I’ve not been looking after it properly for a few months now, I don’t know what to do either
I have been type 1 for 53 yrs-diagnosed at age6-and I still have those days, but in a way i feel like I was more fortunate to get it before I remember much about life before diabetes. I don't really ever remember not having it. I have had some mild complications and feel very blessed to have had the relatively healthy years I have had. My want to live longer and watch my granddaughter grow is my incentive to keep the course. But yes, it does get hard to keep fighting some times. Just remember your goals and what you can accomplish despite DMDoes anyone else get to a point, after a while of having diabetes of just not wanting to care, giving up and just thinking f**k it?
