How do you stay so positive about it though? To me it literally feels like the worse thing in the world :( but then again i feel like i am the only diabetic injecting 4 times a day that has been diagnosed with needlephobia
Sounds like you're going through exactly the same as me!!! If your ever free and fancy a chat private message me :) would be really nice to chat with someone going through similar problems to me
Am i the only diabetic that really struggles to gain weight? I used to have really bad control of my diabetes so have always been really skinny but lately i have massively improved but still struggle to put on any weight :(
Hi emma im josh and im 21 and i was diagnosed when i was 6! Im always here if ever you need a chat or just someone who listens as i've been through all the highs and lows of diabetes :)
Hi guys im Josh and im 21 and i was just wondering if any of my fellow diabetics might fancy meeting for coffee sometime and chat about our similar problems? Let me know if any of you are game and where abouts your from and hopefully we can arrange something :)

how old are you if you don't mind me asking? I know I should do them but I'm just so used to pretending I don't have it that I forget to do them for hours! I have had DKA quite a few times and it is absolutely horrible! so how are you with your insulin and blood test now after what sounds like...
