[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2303978, member: 401801"] A life-altering diagnosis tends to come with some mourning... Depression being one of the classic Kübler-Ross stages of grief, as are anger/resentment. I'm a T2, and while that's quite different from a T1, it did hit me like a ton of bricks. No other diagnosis, and I've had a few, hit me like that one. So while you're doing all the right things and managing just fine, intellectually... It'll take a while for your emotions to catch up. There might just be some grief and rebellion against this condition, which changed the way you thought your life was going to look. Give yourself a moment to work through this. Once your blood sugars are steady and in a good range for a while that should also make you feel better, emotionally. Basically: Cut yourself some slack. And it will get better in time. Should you feel it isn't getting any better, bring it up with your team. No shame in a little medicinal help to get you back to good. Jo [/QUOTE]
