[QUOTE="sarahh1987, post: 898291, member: 195202"] I'm new to all this (forums- not diabetes!) I was diagnosed with T1 when I was 3 years old so have been diabetic for over 24 years now. I've had problems over the years (since around 16yo) with testing blood sugars and injecting.... meaning I very rarely do either I'm ashamed to admit! I think I may have been in denial for the last ten or so years, where i have refused to accept my diabetes and have denied any problems to my parents and doctors/nurses. I finally came clean a couple of months ago, to my hubby first, then mum, then doctors (terrifying!!) and have had nothing but support from my family and my diabetes team at the hospital :) My GP prescribed me anti-depressants back in January, which I feel are finally starting to kick in properly! I'm starting to get back in control of my diabetes, and am trying my very best to start injecting every meal time and to test my sugars at least twice a day (baby steps!). My A1C in January was 13.1, and I am now down to 10.2. I know I have a long way to go, but I am happy with my current progress. I was surprised to find this post here today, as I was feeling like I was the only person who struggles with these kinds of feelings. I think what I want to say really is that it's encouranging to have this support, and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Stay positive :) [/QUOTE]
