[QUOTE="Little_Lucy, post: 1848850, member: 247426"] So I’ve had diabetes for nearly 3 years now and I’m most definitely not in your position however I did go through a similar diagnosis story and it was a shock as no one was expecting it but It never really bothered me at all because I just thought oh I have this now I guess I’m going to have to deal with it. I see that this is where you are struggling in acceptance, you said you struggled for a long time and then got help. Why did you wait so long?? And no one wants diabetes it’s a horrible thing to have but you just got to think of you got through dealing with a coma then you can do this, it’s not the best thing in the world but you just have to let it be there enough for you to take the insulin but diabetes shouldn’t be a backseat driver either, it doesn’t rule your life. And I know one of the hardest things a diabetic can know is what diabetes can do to you but if you don’t see that with clear eyes then you’ll never take the disease seriously and you will constantly feel depressed about your disease cause you’re not managing it properly trust me having a good blood sugar reading is one of the best things in the world as then you’re less at a risk of: heart stroke, blindness, bad feet or amputated legs. I’m sorry to put all this on you at once but you have to understand that that is something you don’t want and to save yourself all you need is a prick of the finger that takes less than a minute to insure you are okay. Also with carb counting most people eat the same things on a basis which is structure so you still have some structure in your life left, anyways my point is when you start carb counting because you eat the same things you’ll just know. I would also talk to your doctors about getting a pump and tell them how you are feeling because the pump will bring normality back into your life as well as a cgm so then no more injections are finger pricks just things you have to change every few days. Now don’t do what you did in the past and wait for years before you get help like you said you have all the tools, use them, weekly meetings with someone or even weekly posts on this site will give you some structure in your life which can help you get back on track so go use the tools. Hope this helps x [/QUOTE]
