Yep, certainly is! I've always coped quite well. When I was younger my teachers new, my friends new so I got used to it very quickly. As I've got older it has become a bit harder for me due to going to college and getting set up for Uni and everyone there having to know about it as I do suffer with a lot of hypos. But so far, all my teachers and everyone at my college seems to be ok with how I work. How are you finding everything?

Once the insulin levels and management were set, one of the hardest things for me was the way people act about it. People ask me how they can avoid catching it, or tell me "you're so lucky because you get to eat in class." One of the school nurses I worked with made me sit in the principals office for 3 hours because I fell asleep on the bed when I had a hyper. She sat there and accused me of faking a ketone induced coma. It gets better though p.s. sorry for butting into your convo

13 years? you have any of the complications of diabetes? (i was diagnosed 4 years ago)

Yep, 13 years. I've had one serious hypo at school were I ended up with paramedics treating me and in hospital for a couple of days and I've just recently had a slight diteriation in my eyesight but that's due to now wearing glasses. Apart from that, no serious problems ahh, so enough time to know things but still time to learn things. I've had it so long I know when bloods should be done etc. I eat properly meaning I don't cut out sugar completely as it's a waste of time. I know how my sugars work. I don't always take my doctors advise purely because it never works. I know the inns and outs of it all and I've always had perfect sugars

Hi everyone,

I suppose i am a little older than you all (25) but i know how you feel. I got diabetes when i was 16, just after finishing secondary school, but still had to cope with it at college for 3 years.

The hardest thing for me has been learning how much fast acting insulin to inject. I have never got on with carb counting, (seems to much trouble weighing food all the time to me) i know you learn gradually whats in what etc but i don't want to eat the same thing everyday all the time.

Learning what to inject as correction doses in food has been the worst. Also evening slow acting, lowers your blood obviously but you dont exactly know weather it will lower it too much.

Anyway, i could go on for ever, good luck everyone.
