[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1345134, member: 295621"] Most definitely. I get happy when my BGL is more or less in range and fairly flat in terms of it's profile. I also get quite upset and angry when competing with Dawn Phenomenon (as I am currently) and getting waking BG's of 15mmol/l+ unless I wake up and bolus between 4am-6am... That has the ability to make you feel pretty bad before you've even opened your curtains. That was I feeling I very rarely experienced before my diagnosis. I would say that diabetes has the biggest potential emotional impact on me over anything else. Like any chronic illness, there is no escape - so for me that means I'm permanently focused on my condition. Some days when my control is good, I can be very happy - other days when it's all going Pete Tong, I can spit the dummy out and hate life... I'm no different to any other diabetic, we can often be quite hard on ourselves when it comes to management. There is no winning really, there is always room for improvement so it's almost like competing in a race where first place is impossible. That would make anyone a bit sad right?! :D [/QUOTE]
