Hi I'm Mel, I'm 18 years old and I was diagnosed with type one last October and it took me completely by surprise and has shocked me to say the least. Over the last eight months I have managed to control my diabetes quite well, my levels have been quite good and the hospital were impressed with me yet that doesn't make me feel any better about the situation. Although my family and friends are supportive, I feel like no one understands me and since my diagnosis I have been feeling more and more isolated. Sometimes I feel like a burden and I often get emotional over my diabetes. What I really want is someone to talk to who understands what I'm going through! So if anyone is willing to talk, I would be very grateful
