[QUOTE="bexblu, post: 1495782, member: 413996"] Hiya to whoever is reading this. We all know how hard it is to break a bad habit.. and I'm really struggling. I've been Type 1 for 17 years now, diagnosed at age 4. My good days seem to be just that, a few days, and my bad times seem to be never ending. Why can I not change things for myself? I just find it so hard and get so frustrated and can never keep it up. My HBA1C is 14% and I'm not able to get the pump - I have been trying for 4 years now. I feel completely lost, and I guess a bit scared too. I want to do well but my motivation just isn't there, I don't know why I find it SO hard to deal with this. Why I can't get to grips with it, even a little bit? I also have suffered with depression and anxiety for many years now too - which really doesn't help me in all this. I'm always told to try do one blood test a day and I don't know why I find it so hard to start small and work my way up. I've had all kinds of therapy and nothing gets to the bottom of it. I get so annoyed that I can't just do it. Been this way since I was 11.. wish i could do this right and prove to myself I can make this work.. Thanks in advance all x Becky [/QUOTE]
