By being prescribed medication and insulin to control your blood sugar levels, you should not feel you have failed.

This is exactly how I feel about being prescribed medications. As in that if I have to start Metformin that I’ve failed somehow even though I know logically it is hormones and not just what I’ve done.

If only I’d already lost more weight, if only I’d only eaten lettuce and chicken breasts, if only, if only.
