Hi, Alyssa, I’m here to give you a big hug, and I agree with everything my friend Robert said. You’ve only been dealing with all this stuff for a month, and soon you will do better with the carb counting and everything. Give yourself a break, and reward yourself when you figure things out. Remember that a high number is just a number, it’s not a “score” on how good a person you are. Don’t let it get you down, because there are multiple reasons for the highs, and sometimes, even after having the d for 41 years, I can’t figure it out. So I just say to myself, “wow, I’m glad I caught that high bg now”, instead of later, so I take a correction bolus and carry on with life. Of course I get down and sad too about it. I think that there’d be something wrong with you if you didn’t get sad about having to do all this crap for the rest of your life. That is a good time to come here, and talk to us, because we really get it. Robert there is one of the best.
anyway, here’s hoping today is a good day for you, Alyssa!
