Hi there in a new user to the forum I'm kieran. I have been a type 1 diabetic since 2001 but I need help badly. For I would say around the past five years I have been completely neglecting my diabetes as if it were not there. I'm supposed to take 12 units if novo rapid in the morning ten at lunch ten at tea time then 38 lantus. As of the past year or so I have only been taking my novo rapid and insulin injections of a night just twice so I have been skipping injections and I can't remember the last time I tested my blood sugar levels. I eat food that is not good for me like cakes ice cream sweets and chocolate. I know this seems straight to the point but I'm scared of the affect this has on my body. I smoke and I very rarely see a health specialist. I'm current In full time employment so I'm active during the day . I'm just scared as I also have depression and anxiety and worry a lot. I'm sorry for being so straight to the point I am just in need of help. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and any help would be greatly appreciated .
