[QUOTE="Geordie lass, post: 2069412, member: 111654"] Hey [USER=508270]@philly1991[/USER]. Sorry to hear about your struggles with your T1DM. We all go through burnout at some stage and I second what [USER=53162]@Juicyj[/USER] says about mood changes with high BGL's. I've been there recently. Since Christmas my motivation to control my T1DM has been very low to the point where I just wanted to throw away my pump and not have to even think about it. But, of course that is just silly, as we need insulin to survive. It's only been just recently that I've started to get a grip on reality and get motivated. My consultant have in the past also referred me to health psychology. This is a great service as it did make me behave more kindly towards myself. And, the support was tremendous! The thing is, when out BGL's are steady, our bodies and minds are healthy too. I follow a LCHF lifestyle, which is great for BGL levels. I've recently started a blog about my diabetes journey...called Dear Dia-BULLY. This may give you a little motivation to keep going. It is hard, but what I've learnt over the years is that this condition will never leave us so we have to be kind to ourselves and take each day as it comes. I find it easier having a CGM sensor that I wear daily. It links to my Medtronic 640g so I can keep track of my BGL's 24/7.

Let us know how you get on. Take care and don't be too hard on yourself. This condition is hard enough without us beating ourselves up over it. x [/QUOTE]
