Hi Lolabea, welcome to the forum 🙂 Very sorry to hear about the problems you are having. What insulin regime are you on, and what is prompting you to test so much? Are you afraid of going low or high, or both? Have you ever done a course, such as DAFNE?

Hi Lolabea

Welcome to the forum 🙂

Nope - your not the only one who struggles!

Tell us a bit more about yourself and your treatment and we'll see what we can do to help.

I appear to be the other way around. Just diagnosed had panic and anxeity for 20 years and scared of hypos even though not had one yet. I would suggest speaking to your doctor and try CBT or to be honest just get a cbt book

Hey,

I have also been Type 1 for 13 years now.....

Some people struggle more than other, with both the the actual blood sugar management and with coping with it in general...

Talking to other like minded folk will definitely help, so welcome on board......

What insulin regime are you on? Have you identified anything specific with your diabetes that needs addressed.....
