Hi, may i ask how old you are and when you got diagnosed i was diagnose when i was nearly 15 so 15 years ago! I ask your age as i found my teens and early 20s the hardest to come to terms being diabetic and really abused myself with regards to eating rubbish not checkinv bms and missinv or delaying insulin as i didnt want to have the questions or feel singled out, ive only been on here a few hours but already had so much support and kond words said to me! You arent the only person to feel like this trust me i do and im sure loads of others do!!i have been diabetic for 14 years now and if I'm honest I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle
Hiya, I am 20 and was diagnosed at 6. I do the same as you did when you were my age and basically try and pretend i don't have it. I hate all the sympathy people try and give me! its nice to know it's not just me feeling this way so thankyou so much for your messageHi, may i ask how old you are and when you got diagnosed i was diagnose when i was nearly 15 so 15 years ago!

HelloI did exactly the same as u have done!! Pretended I didn’t have type1 for many years and looking back on it I’m surprised I even survived. I am
I’m 37 now and diagnosed when only 7 years old. My god how treatments have changed over the years. I missed out on all the goings on at hospital appointments as I very rarely went to mine. I had to do the dafne course for a better understanding of type1 to then get into pumping and it really is a lifesaving decision I made. Please try not to underestimate the POWER OF TYPE1 DIABETES, and good luck fighting it as we all do on a daily basis
I can understand how you feel but you can win this battle - I feel I have!i have been diabetic for 14 years now and if I'm honest I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle

I've been diabetic type 1 for 11yrs just remember TD1 doesn't affect you in doing daily activities we just have to be more careful but can still do anything. There's worst things you could of gotten like being blind/deaf, having one arm/leg etc... Diabeties is just an obstacle we all have to overcome. What affects met the most with diabeties is stress. But i just think diabeties is a unique thing and that's what makes us us. Like we're all diverse in some way, some people are deaf, some are blind, some have asthama, some are diabetic etc... The world probs wouldn't be the same if there were no diabetics to be honest. But as i said diabeties doesn't stop us from doing anything we just have to be carefuli have been diabetic for 14 years now and if I'm honest I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle
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 needlephobiaI've been diabetic type 1 for 11yrs just remember TD1 doesn't affect you in doing daily activities we just have to be more careful but can still do anything.
