I don...I can't comprehend diabetic burnout. I don't have other diabetic friends. I don't have much support for my having juvenile onset (type 1) diabetes. I've never EVER in my 47 years of being a juvenile onset had any sort of burnout. I've always and I mean always known I have, at first check my urine sugar, then later on my blood sugars.<br /><br />I personally think what causes this burnout you're taking about Kayla, is the pressure that the doctors, so-called diabetic experts and then the diabetic themselves put on themselves to keep their blood sugar levels that the ridiculous levels they know consider "normal". When I was diagnosed, a "normal" fasting was 80-140. That is where I try to keep it. I figure since I don't have any complications, I'm doing pretty good.LRMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670715983949140434noreply@blogger.com
