Does anyone have any advice, just on diabetes in general.. (Type 1)
I've been diabetic since I was 11, I'm 18 this august. At the start I had really good control, but as I've gotten older it's getting worse. I seem to have no motivation, even though at the back of my mind I think about the consequences all the time and it puts me in some deep depression EVERY day. I'm training to be a tattooist and I also have my own portrait business, so I need my eyes. My hba1c is 12-13. The problem is 100% me, and my fear of weight gain. I am a small girl of 5ft and I'm quite skinny, but I can't get past the fact that to stay skinny, I gotta eat next to nothing all day (1000 calories) just would like some help!
Also, I've been doing my research and I want an Omnipod. How do I get one as my hospital doesn't 'do them' and won't help me. Ridiculous.
