    Welcome @tallyjade :)

    Sorry you're struggling. Is there anything in particular you're finding difficult?

    It is hard, I know. All I can suggest is to get as good control.as you can, as that makes you feel like you're beating the stupid diabetes, and not to let it get you down. Think of it as an unwelcome passenger - you have to tolerate it but you don't have to let it 'drive your car'. You're in charge of your life and Type 1 shoukdnt stop you doing what you want.

    Feel free to moan here!

    It's okay things will get better, just eat healthy take your meds and avoid triggers and you'll do fine.
