Hi all. So I've not done anything like this before, and I feel a bit daft pouring my worries out on the Internet, but I don't know anyone else with diabetes and I just need to talk. I've been Type 1 for nearly four and a half years now and I just want it to go away to be honest!
I did the DAFNE course a few months ago and it has made a difference but my levels still aren't right. My HbA1C is currently 9.3 and I'm really worried that it's not going to come down - my levels 'blip' too much! I feel bad for moaning - I have a wonderfully supportive fiancé and family but they just don't get it! My fiancé and I want to start a family but my levels just aren't right. It makes me want to cry most days but I feel like I can't tell anyone - I feel like I have to wear a mask when someone asks about how I'm doing.
My fiancé sees a lot of it but it's frustrating that he just can't understand. We had only been dating 6 months when I was diagnosed so we have made the whole journey together and he is so great with it ... But sometimes it feels like I'm on my own with this stupid thing!
I know my mentality is wrong, I'm not noting down my levels etc, but most days I don't see the point when it doesn't change anything! Sorry for the rant/moan but if anyone has any tips of how to pull myself out of this 'slump' I would really appreciate it
