Struggling with Type 1 Diabetes: Need Advice

❤️

I’ve had t1d for 19 years….. unfortunately for this one in particular, the best way to manage the stress of it is just to let time do its thing… meaning, after so long, the care of your t1d will be mostly so instinctual it doesn’t phase you anymore. It can take a very long time tbh. Also, if you were diagnosed recently, remember you are LUCKY, the tools and technology you have at your disposal are scores better than when i was diagnosed. Also, have you looked into getting an insulin pump?? Last time i had one was about 10 years ago and they…. weren’t great. But just this month i got a new one (Medtronic 780G) and holy sh!t have they gotten a LOT better. My blood sugars have been 200% better on average since getting it 🤯🤯🤯 and it’s so much more user friendly than the old ones. Of course, your best bet is to talk to your endocrinologist about your options, and also, if the stress is affecting your daily life, therapy may not be a bad idea. It has certainly helped me (although i also have a plethora of MH conditions) hope this helps! 💜
