You may struggle to find a psychological therapist in your local NHS who specialises in diabetes. However, any trained psychological therapist in the NHS will be able to help you work through your thoughts and feelings about diabetes to a certain extent anyway.

Thank you @rebrascora I like what you say about balance over perfection.. never really thought about it like that

It's so refreshing to hear from others. I keep re-reading some of the comments on this thread so far and genuinely I feel it's lightening the load already.. just knowing that others understand and are going through similar things makes such a big difference.

It's comforting to remember we're all just doing our best and trying to find that balance, but so easy to fall into that mindset of wanting perfection and consistently good readings... I need to work on acceptance.

Thank you for taking the time to respond and for your kind words

I like the saying, "Don't make perfect the enemy of good".
