Diabetes management is really getting under my skin lately. I'm just so exhausted with it all. I never can seem to find a balance. I take one step forward then seem to take three hundred steps backwards. I know that it's all perspective and my control isn't bad, but it just feels like all the work I do has no payoff. But do I need to keep in mind that the pay-off may be 40 or 50 years from now?

If that's the case, I'm not so sure I want to make it. It isn't that I'm burnt out (and gee, don't think I'm suicidal). I'm just stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. Sadly, it seems like I've been stuck there for quite some time.
