[QUOTE="isjoberg, post: 1339713, member: 72864"] I can only offer advice from my own perspective - the biggest thing in getting better (though by no means ideal) control was not taking highs and hypos personally. I used to feel awful whenever I was high and not take my blood sugars because I didn't want to see the numbers. Now I try to think of it as an assistance, the numbers on my meter do not reflect my worth as a person and being able to do something to them is amazing, rather than fixing a mistake. This is a work in progress and I have to keep reminding myself to think like this but it's a small behavioural change that I found really helped me. [/QUOTE]
