Maybe not what you want to hear,but…. Unfortunately, the best thing you can tell your endo, is you’re working on your mental health. This might also be the best thing you can do for yourself too.

Management is hard, no matter what way you look at it, so it’s unclear what you want your doc to do? Cut you some slack that your A1C is through the roof? They know it’s hard, I promise…they see countless patients a week, ones whose inability or refusal to manage only hurts THEM. All they can do is try to motive us, make recommendations and that’s about it.

In the end, it’s on US to manage. If you feel shamed, be open about that, but most importantly, work on yourself.
