Type 1 Diabetes Burnout
Posted , 5 users are following.
I've had type one diabetes for ten years now and I just want to be done with it. My doctor tells me that this is called a burnout and that it tends to occur every five years. I feel like no one can relate to me and my struggle with diabetes. Are there any other type one diabetics out there that feel the same way? And what could I do to get my motivation back to take back control of my diabetes?

Taking control is all down to you I'm afraid...keep on eating healthily etc etc.
how's your social life....do you have a good circle of friends? Sometimes talking about it can help & others can support with good words if they are understanding. Maybe ask to see a psychologist...they can be helpful towards trying to break the psycological chain that you feel is tying you down.
Have a Google for diabetes support groups. It's not the best news when the doc says "forever", so just try reaching out to others in the same boat (hence starting here I guess!). It is frustrating, but chin up & try talking. Good luck buddy, there's loads of us here.
