I will have to check that book out. Thank you. The book I’m reading now, you can see it on the side of the blog, is “business” orientated, but I have found so many of these rule of thumbs to be true in my diabetes life as well. It’s been helping me see a different side of things and think about things in a way I never did before.

Chris, Keep it up!!! There is a book written by William H. Polonsky titled “Diabetes Burnout”. It has helped me in the past when I am feeling down and overwhelmed by our common situation. Nobody is perfect, definately not me by any means. I am the first to admit that.

I was diagnosed 6 years ago when I was 19 years old. I had the same stress and anxiety problems before I was diabetic as well. It is just the way that I am. I made some good strides this weekend during the Va Tech game, especially since they lost. I didn’t fret about it too much and just got over it within minutes of the game being over.

Not sure how long you have had diabetes but, it seems you need to get a handle on yourself. I, myself, have been a type1 diabetic for 51 years sinc the age of 3. I have learned to deal with every situaton and have faired pretty well. I too am a die hard sports fan (GO YANKEES, GO NY-GIANTS, GO UCONN HUSKIES).
