[QUOTE="princessgeorge25, post: 960459, member: 31735"] Hiya I've been diabetic since the age of 4 (coming up 20 years) and I was exactly same as a teen. I just gave up caring, I stopped doing my injections and started eating and drinking whatever I wanted. It took me nearly 6 years to get some decent control again. I still have days where I sit and cry because I don't want to do this anymore. I think it's part and parcel of the condition. You aren't alone in how you feel, I think everyone who has diabetes goes through these stages. Maybe see your Dr about seeing a diabetic nurse, I think they are much less judgemental than consultants tend to be. I like my consultants but sometimes I find it easier to talk to my diabetic nurse. I'm the only one with diabetes in my family so I struggle to talk to them about it. [/QUOTE]
