Mental Blocks

Anything I share on my blog is purely MY experience. I'm not a doctor! Someone was telling me about their 12 year old with Type 1, and how she didn't seem to care about checking her blood sugars sometimes. The mom thought that was strange, but I thought--"I do that all the time"! Obviously, I'm not the poster child for a perfect Type 1 Diabetes patient-and my doctor would totally agree. However, I do believe that Type 1's have this mental block about their illness sometimes. I KNOW what I need to do and how to do it, but I don't always WANT to do it. It's like that song "Some Beach, Somewhere". I don't want to deal with the hassle of "taking care of myself" or checking my blood sugar-so I...don't. I'd rather be anywhere else-with a working pancreas, instead of-here. It usually doesn't last long, but it happens. Don't judge me. I mean, I'm human, I make mistakes. We all do in one way or another. I wish I could be the perfect patient and do everything I'm told to. Something keeps me from it though. It doesn't hurt to check my blood sugar. It just feels annoying! Tell me about your "mental blocks"...I'm curious. :)
