simcha- I think u shld switch to a doc who’s nice but scary at the same time cuz that’s what will u motivated (at least thats what keeps me motivated.) My doc is soo nice, every time I come I get a huge hello etc but at the same time if my numbers arent good she’ll get upset at me, like last time I went to her and I told her that my postprandial dinner numbers are high-ish she got upset at me (serioulsy) that i eat rice with supper and insisted that i do not need it at all!!! now, that is what motivates me to change cuz firstly im scared of her 🙂 and also cuz she does it in a way that makes me want to change..she told me stories about ppl who are still living and their in their 90’s with type 1 since teenage years!
It’s definitley not easy and noone will say it is but you gotta do it for urself!! btw im only D for almost 3 years now and im for sure less motivated than i was a while back but i push myself and think about the future. I wanna be a good wife and have healthy children iyh! 🙂
if u wanna my docs info i cld give it to u but she only takes new patients till 21. (even though i just turned 21 she said she’ll keep me cuz i started with her when i was under 21)
sorry for such a long post- i know theyre annoying..:)
