[QUOTE="jack412, post: 723857, member: 97664"] hi, you aren't the first where it just gets all too hard, you only need to read the forum for 10min to see that :) there is an anon care line you can ring about anything big or small or just a chat [url]http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Teens/Help-and-support/We-can-help/Careline/[/url] TBH from what I have read on the forum, with teens, your bg is going to be all over the place anyway and what worked last week doesn't work this week. it sounds it could be a bit like diabetic burn-out and a bit of depression, I'm T2 but I have a bit of depression, so I know what it's like to feel down and you just want to pull the bed clothes over your head and stay in bed.:confused: the old saying of a problem shared is a problem halved is true, grab your mum and tell her you want a shoulder to cry on and not be cheered up and told how wonderful and brave you are. Ask your team or dr for a counselling appointment. it's good that you have got it a bit off your chest here and your feelings need to get out or they just fester :lock: remember the meter is just a number to help you adjust your insulin, it's not an exam with pass and fail, an in-range number has the same value as a high or low number with your BG control :writer: this isn't from a dr but it makes sense to me [url]http://www.diabetesexplained.com/diabetic-burnout.html[/url] [url]http://www.diabetesexplained.com/the-five-stages-of-grief.html[/url] I hope you didn't mind my grandpa lecture, I mean well :) [/QUOTE]
