[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1736728, member: 468055"] I’ve been exactly where you are now, burnout sucks. You know all the rules, you know all the implications, but somehow it just doesn’t matter enough to actually DO the thing. Even two near fatal DKAs weren’t enough to hammer it home for me. The thing that changed it for me was getting a Libre on a three month trial, and having a challenge set to reduce my HbA1c by a certain amount to keep it long term. I think I knew that it really was last chance saloon for me. Is that maybe something you can get through your care team? It turned this totally burned out T1 into someone that’s engaged and finally taking control of my stupid flesh prison. Try not to look on it as the disease you need to take control of but your body. You can pull this back and run your body better - you’ll feel better too, physically and mentally. But it’s a long haul, we don’t get a day off. And we’re perfectly entitled and justified in having a foot stamping session at the sheer unfairness of it all. Sending hugs (and a gentle kick up the bum) <3 [/QUOTE]
