[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 112849, member: 17713"] The damage of hypo's is nothing compared to the damage you are causing yourself with constant hypers. I used to be like you, until an orthapaedic surgeon that I used to garden for told me I was killing myself. I admit I was. Despite not being a specialist in diabetes his words finally made me turn my life around. I don't understand totally why you aren't controlling your diabetes, I believe that most T1 diabetics will go through a phase at some point of complacency, but you do appear from your posting to be concerned now, so I was wondering what has made this concern come about? Diabetes has to live with you, and it is certainly manageable if you have the backing of a good GP, nurse or consultant. Is there anybody that will listen to you, not just with a 10 minute appt with GP, somebody that will make time to listen to why you are finding life with diabetes so unmanageable. After my orthapaedic consultant told me I was killing myself, I saw my GP and told him everything. He let me email my results to him, he would see me 1/2 an hour before surgery if necessary. There are good GP's around. Please don't give up on managing your life with diabetes, otherwise you may get longer term problems. Please be honest with yourself about your life and how diabetes fits in with you. I haven't looked back, and despite changing GP's as I moved grom England to Wales, there are some good people willing to help but at the end of the day it all boils down to whether YOU are going to decide that YOU can manage your diabetes.
