[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1476366, member: 30007"] Hi [USER=272531]@Pepe1895[/USER], welcome to the forum. I think the first step is accepting that you need to do something, and not everyone with type 1 reaches that point. By coming on to the forum like this and posting, you are making that adjustment, and that's probably the most difficult thing to do. You mention that you are feeling depressed - are you seeing a hospital diabetes clinic? If not, ask your GP to refer you and that's the ideal place to raise your issues, especially in relation to any mental health issues you consider yourself to be facing. In recent years there has been much more focus on that side of living with chronic conditions. But the best way to look at it is small steps. You've made the first. Now you need to determine what are the next ones you want to make. Maybe that's testing a bit more frequently, or deciding to learn a bit more. I realise they all seem like mountains, but slowly and surely you'll start to see, and more importantly, feel, the benefits of doing so. Good luck as you stand at the beginning of your journey!
