[QUOTE="chocoholic, post: 54707, member: 2964"] Hi Charlotte, I have read and re-read your post as I feel the answer you require is in your own posting.You say you somehow feel you want to be in control of the pain and discomfort. I think that is quite a telling statement. We all like to feel in control, so I think the way you need to deal with this is to turn that statement around to one that is more positive...in other words let yourself gain [b]good[/b] control of your diabetes.I won't pretend that's easy. I'm still working on it myself BUT when you take your jabs regularly, monitor your BG levels (most important) and start to see things improving, I have no doubt you will still feel 'in control' but in a way that won't be detrimental to your long-term health. I think what has happened to your Dad has frightened you (understandably so) and by going into denial, you feel you can prevent thoughts of the same things happening to you. In reality, you know that the opposite is true. Other forum members know that my own motivation to keep myself healthy is so that I will able to look out for my severely disabled brother later on in life. I HAVE to keep myself as healthy as possible. I won't be able to push my brother's wheelchair or help him get dressed or go to the loo etc, if I let my own health go. Your family need you, so make today the day you spin your options around and take GOOD control. You can do it and you won't find a more supportive lot than members of this forum.We will help you all we can. All the best, chocoholic.x [/QUOTE]
