Burnout is something every single diabetic will experience unfortunately, we always put 100% effort into making sure our blood sugars are at their best that it can be way too much to handle at times. Burnout in a diabetic term is when you feel you aren’t reaping the rewards of constant injections, monitoring etc - that you feel you cannot try any harder, that the only option is to stop. Sometimes on a much larger scale, experiencing a burnout for a day or two can be a positive thing for your overall management but it can also be extremely damaging to your overall health.
I suffered from burnout for 5+ years, ended up on life support around 6 times with additional DKA experiences. Diabetes is tough.
When I am in diabetes burnout, the following always occurs:
Diabetes is tough, we all experience burnout, most importantly YOU ARE NOT FAILING! Let yourself rest, recuperate and recover on a timescale that suits you.
Behind the Burnout Truth Campaign
With National Diabetes Awareness Month happening, we believe it's important to continue our commitment with sharing the support as at the end of the day, we understand and acknowledge that diabetes management is a 24/7 experience.
With that in mind, we've created a #BurnoutTruth initiative to use this chance to shine a public light on an area that's often experienced in the dark by yourself.
Burnout truth is all about showing the realness of having chronic illness burnout and normalising this experience so that others out there know that it is real. By sharing different community stories, we hope that we're able to communicate that the main message is to know that these things happen because you’re a human, whether it’s with diabetes or outside of having diabetes. 😊
Managing diabetes is a complex and ongoing journey, requiring not just medical management but also emotional and psychological support. This is where the power of a strong community becomes invaluable. Having a network of supportive individuals—whether family, friends, or fellow patients—can significantly alleviate the stress and isolation often associated with managing diabetes. A community offers a platform for sharing experiences, exchanging tips, and providing encouragement, making the journey feel less solitary and more supported.
