[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1656820, member: 196960"] It sounds like depression to me too [USER=429908]@ExtremelyW0rried[/USER] . I also feel you are being too hard on yourself. Your looking for perfection and with diabetes there's no such thing. Even we type2s frustrate ourselves to find the golden chalice (reversal). Only a very very few ever accomplish it and only in the early stages of the disease. We can try and con ourselves into thinking perfection will make all the difference, it does not. HOW you deal with diabetes is the golden chalice.....I believe. OK some type2s can use a plan or similar to help but ultimately.... We are just managing the best we can. Daily. What I'd like you to do is choose just one aim for 2018. Maybe do a mock important indulgent meal (birthday meal or anniversary celebration) in practice for 2018 Christmas meal. Or something similar. I think your confidence has been given a knock. Your more than capable of getting through a failure with emergency kit at hand. Your expectations of perfect hba1c are too high at Xmas time. Any diabetic would tell you that, no matter their type. Cut yourself some slack, please. Please. [/QUOTE]
