I've always struggled with accepting my condition ever since I was diagnosed and I've had some awful experiences with my medical team which have furthered these negativities. I thought I had conquered this in achieving a Hba1c of 44 but went off the rails again and my Hba1c is back up at 103.
My latest medical team have been really good and have seen me fortnightly to provide me the support I need to continue taking my insulin and discuss my negative feelings to try and overcome this and get back to where I was. However I realise that it is not realistic to see them ever two weeks in the long run. I have been put forward for DAFNE but this isn't until December so any support I can get would be greatly received.
Is there anybody else out there who lacks motivation, even with something so important? Or has anybody experienced it themselves before but overcome it?
Hope everyone is well!
