More likely, as measured how? How do you know this? Spending more time thinking about my condition is a great way to improve blood glucose control, at least in my experience.
Of course. I spend plenty of time thinking about diabetes and I stay involved in the data measuring communities (Nightscout, Spike, etc.) I enjoy knowing what’s going on with my body and I try to get like-minded diabetics to look into that. I also help people figure out how to get a CGM prescription and sell them on it by loaning mine out for a few weeks (and just that much data eases worry once they see their actual operating parameters. It’s worth my going without for a bit.)
I know this because I know diabetics who have lapsed out of control, or retreated into a rather small life, because they felt the excessive personal rules they’d either self-imposed or been taught by others were burdensome. When possible, teaching them a lighter set of principles to follow has had a positive effect.
