[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 674709, member: 41816"] Sure. But there is no need to describe yourself in such self-criticising, judgemental terms, where newly diagnosed diabetics will see them. Most newbies who post on here are already beating themselves up, battling depression and feeling guilt and shame. None of those emotions are necessary for controlling blood glucose, and may contribute to the depression that is widespread amongst diabetics. Expressing ideas that are based on faulty logic and reinforce the negatives are not helpful. [/QUOTE]
