    17 newly diagnosed type 1

    Hey, First of all welcome to the T1 club! I was diagnosed in June last year at the age of 21 and still to this day I'm having trouble coming to terms with it and getting my levels stable. It's a massive thing to take on especially if you get diagnosed at the age we are. Depending on what time...

    Decisions on starting a hertfordshire group

    So I've had a determination mind today to try and start up my own local group for those who have T1. Now it could be a long shot but im willing to go whatever distance to make it happen to help support those who I can relate to myself. As well as try to raise as much awareness as possible. I...

    Mental breakdowns

    I only got diagnosed in june. And a month later I started having breakdowns. I was crying for 3 hours on end every night because no one could understand what I was actually going through. I ended up on anti depressants. Your 'friends' don't sound like they're very supportive of you but then...

    8 months into diagnosis

    It is a constant question I have on the back of my mind. But then there's never an answer to it (as of yet) I was recently under counselling but I didn't find it helped. It was more of my own attitude then what help they offered tbh. I think it's just more of needing to get that positive mind...

    Great advice. I have also sat there and said to my mum that there has to be a reason to why I was the one to have T1 when there's been no past relatives to have it. As I was told by the diabetic doctor I'm still in the 'honeymoon period' Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    8 months into diagnosis

    Yeah this is relatable. I've found it very challenging since I started working in September. Part of me feels that I jumped into working too quickly before coming to terms about being T1 but now I don't want to pull out of work because of diabetes. &of course not having anyone to understand...

    8 months into diagnosis

    This sounds exactly like me, even with my needles in reach I just dont inject. It just seems as if I haven't managed to get the right frame of mind on me. I always sit there and think "I must have haf T1 months before I got diagnosed and nothing bad had happened so why should it matter now" I...

    8 months into diagnosis

    Glad I'm not on my own! It seemed to feel like I was the only one suffering possibly more because I had no one to relate with but seeing peoples storys and struggles on here has helped. I just seem to become lazy when I need to inject the fact it stings at times on my stomach and my legs just...

    8 months into diagnosis

    I got diagnosed with T1 back in june 2013. Since then I haven't managed to controll it, times I just eat food without even injecting which then of course leaves me with high levels. I've had so many time where I just want to slap myself for not controlling it and half the time just have...
