You're not doing a bad job. You're doing a difficult job.
The mental math at every meal. The 2am handful of Skittles in bed. Alarms going off out of the blue.
It piles up into burnout. And burnout turns into "I'll deal with it tomorrow." We've all been there, and staying there is the part that wears us down.
The next small habit is a lot closer than you think.
One habit at a time.
That's the whole enchilada (bolus accordingly).

One habit at a time
Every couple of months we build one habit together. Water. Sleep. Movement. Treating lows with actual glucose instead of the whole pantry. One habit, built all the way, before the next one starts. Nobody's asking you to overhaul your life by Thursday.
Stack the wins
Small habits gain momentum. T1D takes a backseat. You find community that's doing this along with you.
Don't take my word for it.
"I want to let you know that I truly appreciate your content. The information you provide about pre-bolus has changed my life, brother. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"I just love every single post you do. When I became a type 1 diabetic, your book, you, your challenges helped me more than you know!"
"My wife and I found your page shortly after our 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with T1D about 8 months ago, and your videos have genuinely helped us understand and navigate this new life."
"I'm 31 and diagnosed with type 1 December last year. The way you explain things and the realities of actually living with the disease has really resonated with me. Love your podcasts. Nearly done with 100 episodes and still learning heaps."
"Your podcast today...so on the money. If I could have called you on the way home from the gym, I would have. Can't wait for these next two months on pre-bolusing."
"I am learning so much from your posts and podcasts!"
"I love and hate that you can articulate exactly what I've struggled to survive for so long. Your level of understanding, your ability to translate complex, confusing information into simple, relatable support, your humor, your dedication - thank you!"
I was diagnosed with Type 1 on Valentine's Day, 1992. Romantic, right?
That's 34 years of carb counts, site changes, and learning things the hard way, right alongside you. I'm not a doctor and I'm not selling a miracle. I'm just a guy a few steps ahead of you on the trail, yelling back, "watch out for that rock."
Since then I've directed a documentary about 20 people with T1D who biked 4,200 miles across America, written two books, built a community of about 87,000 people at @thebetes, and put out a podcast every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. None of that happened because I mastered T1D. Nobody does. It happened because small, boring, repeatable wins add up.
Nobody remembers easy.
Most episodes are five minutes.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, each episode is something you can actually try today. They're short enough to finish when you're driving to work, taking kids to school, or waiting for a low blood sugar to come back up.

Oh, so you're more of a reader? OK, smarty pants.
Two books I wrote for the parts of Type 1 diabetes that don't fit on social media. One day at a time, one true story at a time. Written about all of our lows & highs and how to manage it all.
