Aww well I do think it is pretty difficult for people our age just because of all the changes I'm okay I suppose it's quite tricky at timesYep, certainly is! I've always coped quite well. When I was younger my teachers new, my friends new so I got used to it very quickly. As I've got older it has become a bit harder for me due to going to college and getting set up for Uni and everyone there having to know about it as I do suffer with a lot of hypos. But so far, all my teachers and everyone at my college seems to be ok with how I work. How are you finding everything?

Once the insulin levels and management were set, one of the hardest things for me was the way people act about it. People ask me how they can avoid catching it, or tell me "you're so lucky because you get to eat in class." One of the school nurses I worked with made me sit in the principals office for 3 hours because I fell asleep on the bed when I had a hyper. She sat there and accused me of faking a ketone induced coma. It gets better though p.s. sorry for butting into your convoAww well I do think it is pretty difficult for people our age just because of all the changes I'm okay I suppose it's quite tricky at times
