Well, now that I’m no longer using the drug (oh no, I’m a ‘user’! LOL)
I am going to say sayonara to youse guys…
Best of luck to everyone…
I have to honestly say, though, that some of the conversations about
bad vs good and doctors who yell at their patients who struggle with
tight control at times, etc, etc., are too upsetting for me.
Tight control is always my goal and has been since I was diagnosed
nearly 15 years ago. My A1c is regularly under 7.0 and I don’t need a
doctor to yell at me. I have been known to ‘fall off the wagon’ myself
many times.
I just know that beating myself up or allowing others to beat me up
doesn’t motivate me to change my habits or do better. I have learned
over the years that simply loving myself more and more helps me to make
better choices. I grew up in an environment where punishment and
yelling and control was used to ‘motivate’ me. It doesn’t work. All it
does is make me feel badly about myself and hate myself. Been there,
done that, got the t-shirt to prove it…
Take care folks, be gently with yourselves…
