[QUOTE="Oblomov, post: 1777640, member: 35990"] I find that no one other than other T1 diabetics understand what its like. Even some of those dont. Maybe because their diabetes is easier to manage? Mine certainly is not, it is very brittle and im quite an emotional diabetic. I like other posters have been told to ease up, that I'm overthinking things. I'm a mother of two, I've been diabetic for over 40 years since, since birth and I hold down a part-time job and I spend half my life like other mothers balancing two boys - playing football part-time job, mufti days, parents evening etc. as soon as I wake up in the morning my first thoughts before I even open my eyes are: Am I low; did I go hypo in the night;has my husband already gone to work - am I in charge of the boys; am I walking my youngest to school or driving - ie do I need less carbs or more carbs- etc. and I make those kind of decisions many many times per day. Risk analysis. I'm told by my Diabetic Team that I'm over-thinking things - That I need cbt. I find that offensive. Surely many diabetics go through these thought processes. I can see others have posted that they do. Would appreciate responses / replies to that specifically. [/QUOTE]
