The first day on which I was diagnosed, I was like 'I can do this, it'll be fine', and sometimes I say 'at least if it's me, it isn't somebody else', but I often do feel 'why me? what did I do to deserve this?', particularly on days when I am doing everything right and the numbers are still not good. I think it's even worse if it just drops on you out of nowhere, with no family history.That said, this is a really hard disease to deal with. Have you spoken to your DSN about getting some counselling/psychological support? I see a psychologist through the diabetes service, and it could be really helpful for you, since they will also have some idea of what this condition actually means. Or, if you would like to just rant, feel free to send me a PM, I'm happy to listen.The diabetes beast is hard work, constantly. However, it is also a petty, mean little thing that nobody likes, whereas I am absolutely sure that a great many people are very fond of and love you. You can win this.</blockquote>
