Hello Cat and welcome to the forums. If you have a look around I think you'll soon find that most if not all of us feel like you do from time to time. I know I do! I've been T2 since 2003 and just been put onto Byetta injections because everything went pear shaped earlier this year.

Feel free to chat, rant, or whatever you want to do. But most of all realise you're among friends. It does make life easier with us lot on your side. Take care and i look forward to gettin to know you better. XXXXX
 
Hi cat. Welcome 🙂

Sorry to hear you're struggling a bit lately. You're certainly not alone in feeling frustrated by it.

What insulins are you on and have you been on a DAFNE course or similar at all ?

Do you have regular clinic/GP appointments ?

Hi Cat and welcome to the forums. Yes everyone from time to time gets really frustrated with the diabetes fairy.

Is there anything you are struggling with right now - that maybe someone can point you in the right direction.

Do you carb count ? What insulins are you on, what access do you have to a DSN?
 
Welcome to the forum. Great place to come for help and advice 🙂
 
Hi Cat

Take a look around and wade in. I'm sure lots of your experiences will help others. Living with D can really grind you down, and burnout happens to most of us now and again.

Are there any particular things that you are struggling with?
