I was diagnose when I was 5, I kinda remember going into hospital and thats about it, I think your right Jenni I have found it easyer in later life being diagnosed early (I am now 36) but some things cant be avoided ( the lumpy injection site! no matter how hard I try theres just not enough of...

no you did right by eating first, you may have read in other post on the site that your liver will up your suger when it starts to drop, so what you have experienced is just that. Dont worry too much, keep checking your bloods as normal and you will prob find that they go back to normal also...

yes unfortunatly it is, although some people tend to bleed and bruse easer than others, your insulin will collect fat to it (this is what can sometimes cause lumps) also if you continue to inject in the same place for a long period of time the site becomes scared (scare tissue build up) and this...

Hi marmalade yes some diabetics do test for ketones (I do as when I am ill I get traces of them and if I dont keep them in check I end up with thrush) ketones are when your body starts breaking down fat, you drink more exesivly and find yourself tired (just like when you are first diagnosed). If...

not saying that you shouldnt have a drink but are you aware that it lowers your blood sugers. are you aware of your hypos and could you tell the difference between "drunk" and hypo? if you can answer yes then by all mean have a drink but be aware! if you can have low carb beer all the better...
