[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1465186, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=383513]@Just_Me_Rachel[/USER] I really can sympathise with you, having been where you are now. My suggestion is to try and find some form of relaxation, stressing about your diabetes becomes consuming, get out for a walk, try meditation. Managing type 1 is about accepting imperfection, so not getting down about high numbers, simply acknowledging the reading, analysing it and taking action to move forward. Try and visualise your best friend with this, you would be kind to them and accept that their condition is part of them but you wouldn't be hard on them, in the same way you have to accept it but not be so hard on yourself. Go back to basics in testing, try and focus on your basal testing, getting this right is fundamental to good control, read up and become an expert, but don't let your type 1 take over your life, you can live with this and we all have rough patches, but we do get through them :) [/QUOTE]
