[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2069423, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=508270]@philly1991[/USER] Part of my management is taking ownership for my condition and not relying on my team, there's a few reasons for this, firstly it's my body and only I know better than anyone else what works and what doesn't, I also have a bit of a control freak in me and cannot give the reigns to my control to someone else, also I decided after getting diagnosed that I wanted to become an expert so picked up anything I could read or learn about t1, so I knew as much as I could to make good decisions, also early days I got frustrated in waiting for a call back, it could take up to a week for someone to contact me back and I couldn't wait around getting down about something that needed changing. I make all my decisions now, it means i'm fully accountable to myself, it also means I feel more in control and empowered, I get high days and fairly good days, they are all different but I can analyse them now to see what went wrong and how. It still makes me laugh that I can eat the same breakfast every day and some days i'll stay in range and other days i'll go high, but i've accepted that's how it is and I don't get down about it now.
