Here in Sweden it is very much focus on good blodsugar levels and very little on the mental healt. Doctors don't care if you're stressed or burnt out. I've been really stressed and tired for about 10 years now and everything the doctor talks about is insulin and blodsugar. It is soooooooo annoying. I told her that I wasn't going to see her in a year cause I needed a vacation from my diabetes. And she only said "OK".I live a very hard life. No relatives, two kids with serious diseases (Cystic Fibrosis and Autism), no drivers licence, I have 11 other diagnosis aswell as Diabetes type 1, I have to ride my bike to work and work for 9 hours every day, then go and get my kids in school, go home and help them with their physiotherapy, medicines and so on (and ofcourse all the other stuff ordinary parents do). Ofcourse there isn't much time left for me and my diabetes... But doctors here in Sweden don't have a holistic view on things. Unfortunately... They only see blodsugar. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> </blockquote>
