[QUOTE="azure, post: 863188, member: 39639"] I had an eating disorder, which I was recovering from just when I got diabetes. It made the diabetes much harder to deal with mentally. It felt like a punishment. Have you ever spoken to a professional person like a psychologist or a counsellor about how difficult things have been for you? It sounds like you've had some very hard and very miserable times in your life, and sometimes talking them through can help. You're obviously a strong person to survive those things though - don't forget that. As others have said, take little steps with your diabetes. If you're currently not having any fast acting insulin injections before your meals, could you start having one before, say, breakfast? That way you could try to get your morning blood sugar levels sorted out. Or would it be easier for you to start first with doing blood tests? Perhaps you could do a certain number of blood tests a day to see where your levels are? Which of those things would you find easiest? Do you have any good friends you trust who can help you?
