[QUOTE="christi99, post: 846175, member: 179601"] I think one of the most important feeling you identified in your post was the feeling of shame when your numbers were not optimal. Many (maybe all medical professionals) react this way- disappointment, scolding, anger, whatever and fail to see how negative reactions does very little to help someone want to connect with what they need to do. You just go into avoidance mode. Especially when everything else seems bad. Everyone has a breaking point. I think it is so important to be able to recognize the red flags and figure out what it is you need to recharge. Like you said, when you started the low carb diet and started to get happy numbers, it reinforced the positive feelings you have- and kept you striving. The positive feelings are a reward in addition to good BG numbers - a positive feedback loop.. Thanks for sharing- I am going to pass your remarks to my son who is in a similar place you were in. :) [/QUOTE]
