[QUOTE="Fauna, post: 2692285, member: 587285"] Hello! My diabetes causes me huge amounts of stress when I talk to my doctor about it. Not only is the blood drawing a huge discomfort for me (I panic and the nurse can't really draw my blood correctly), but I feel like I'm being judged by the doctor. Of course, I know that I go there to seek help and for my own good, but the fact that I get forced to go there and always hear "Yeah, that's bad" and not too many kind words is just.. bringing me down. I recently wanted to get a new system - probably dexcom - for better control over my diabetes, because I don't want to fear my illness anymore and wish to feel better everytime I go to the doctor. To be honest, I just need a piece of advice from people who know what I'm going through and some support.. I never talked to another person with diabetes and I feel so alone in this, everyone always talks about the food, etc, but never about the stress. So, am I alone in this? Is it normal to feel like this? How can I fight the negative emotions I feel during every visit? I would appreciate it if you could let me know what your thoughts are about this, have a nice day and thank you for reading! [/QUOTE]
