[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1886605, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=378206]@Catherine4188[/USER] It sounds like you've been through alot so well done for taking some time to acknowledge what's going on and wanting to make some changes., your definitely not stupid in any shape or form :) It just sounds like you have put everyone else first. Unfortunately without you functioning as a fit and healthy mum then the stack of cards will all come tumbling down, so taking control of your management is so important, as you know and have already been told the complications are real and although it's seen as an invisible condition, running high puts you at great risk of DKA as well as complications, so getting healthy is important so you can see your kids grow up and be there for them. Just take it one day at a time, don't think about the future focus on the here and now, you've done this before so brilliantly too, don't aim for perfection, just aim for a medium which means your mood will improve and you will get more energy, yes you might have a hypo or go hyper, we all do, it's part of this, but don't dwell on the past or the future or the negatives, just focus on now and look after yourself, see your team and be honest about it all, they've seen and heard it before, they can only help you if you help yourself. Also just be kind to yourself - you have alot to deal with there, but please don't let your type 1 become your last priority, your kids need their mum happy and healthy, so please keep in touch and let us know how you get on ? :) [/QUOTE]
