Diabetes Burnout

Q: Do you know anything about diabetes burnout? Sometimes it feels like everything isn't worth the fight.
A: I think everyone who has diabetes, has experienced some form of Diabetes Burnout!!!

Google search "Diabetes Burnout". There are several sites that you may find helpful.

Check out DLife Bookshelf “Diabetes Burnout: What to do when you can’t take it anymore” by William Polanski. Also try “What you should know about Diabetes Burnout” by Gary Gilles. Another great site is the Joslin Diabetes Center that has “Avoid Diabetes Burnout”.

All these sites give ideas that can help us take a different view of our self care.
