The doctors and nurses have tried to be as helpful as possible but I find that there is some things that they can't help me with. At first they will help you understand and support you as you get used to the new changes and the new routine that you'll have to do.

Maybe I should try the counseling like everyone has mentioned! Thank you everyone for the kind words. You don't understand how much they really mean xx

My levels are constantly in the required area they should be. They only get out of sorts when I'm ill or get stressed to the point of forgetting things. I have recently stopped checking my bloods due to lack of time.

I have previously had my diabetes controlled but it was a very strict and tight regime which was too controlling for me. I have been offered counseling but turned it down. I think it's more support which is stopping me from making myself better. Thank you for the advice :) xx

Hey Mesha, I've had type one for quite a while now and if you ever want to talk I'm always here :) Wish you all the best xx

I haven't accepted mine yet and I've been diabetic for 10 years since I was 8.

Hi everyone, I recently posted on here about '10 years and not coping' and I have to say I was completely surprised by the feedback. Unfortunately I'm still in complete denial! I'm not looking after myself but I know I should be but I seem to be making sure everyone else is okay before...

Hi all, I'm going to be 18 in 3 weeks but I need to get my driving license renewed within the next couple of weeks. I'm getting quite worried/Stressed about it as I have been struggling lately and I'm worried that my doctor won't let me drive anymore. I'm worried that if she doesn't I will...

Hi there I am a type 1 diabetic and have been for nearly 10 years. I am struggling to cope and have only shared about this within the past few weeks. I'm 18 and I live in Guernsey. Having type 1 diabetes whilst going through teenage years has been very difficult but as we mature our thoughts...

Thank you to everyone for the advice. All of you have made me a lot calmer and more hopeful about trying to do the right thing and the best way forward. I am going to try and see what I can achieve however I do think that it's not going to be easy and things are going to get tough but I...

Unfortunately I live on an island so the majority of Type 1's are children and babies. I have been on the DAFNE course for a couple of years now.

I think small steps might be the best way for me :)

Hi - I would say I'm a young adult. I will be 18 in 2 months.

We don't have a close relationship anymore. I don't feel like I can talk to them about anything. I don't feel like I have that trust as they wont understand or they will just have a go at me.
