[QUOTE="T1D Sarah, post: 1173678, member: 304560"] [FONT=Georgia]Hello! I'm new here so I thought I'd introduce myself... My name is Sarah, I'm 21, from England and I'm a Type 1 Diabetic :) I was diagnosed 6 months after the birth of my daughter but I believe I was diabetic straight after the birth! As you can imagine looking after a newborn and being undiagnosed was not easy. After months of blood tests with no diagnosis I took myself to hospital barely able to walk or talk. I went in with DKA!! I spent 5 nights in hospital away from my daughter but I was thankful that I finally knew what was wrong. I was blissfully unaware of the impact type 1 would have on my life. I remember my nurse at the hospital giving me a really sympathetic look as I laid in bed smiling and nodding like it was no big deal. I now understand why she looked at me that way. Being a diabetic has made me feel very alone and I have been trying to reach out to others. I didn't know there was such an amazing community online and I decided to join in. I started a YouTube channel in hope to raise awareness. T1D Sarah is my channel name if you are interested :cat: I currently do 4-5 injections a day and have started using the freestyle Libre. I hope to make many diabetic friend! Please feel free to introduce yourself too! Remember - the only thing we cannot change is the diagnosis! Love Sarah x[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
