This morning I tested my blood and it was 8.0. I forgot to inject insulin and have eaten a roll and a small chocolate biscuit. However when I checked my blood at lunchtime my levels had dropped to 6.4. Can anyone make sense of this? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I would certainly say that, at some points, im being controlled by my diabetes rather than the other way round! I often feel limited by it although I may just have a negative mindset! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I was just wondering whether im the only person who underestimated the mental effect diabetes has on you? I hope I don't sound over dramatic but I just feel a weaker person than those around me? Maybe its just me Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I don't mind pre planning when I know im going to be doing something active , for example if im of to play a game of football then i'll take the necessary steps. Its just the fact that I feel I can't live spontaneously. Ah im just moaning, I suppose its just a thing I need to come to terms with...

Im an 18 year old lad so typically im aiming to live an active lifestyle. Over the past few weeks i've often gone on walks/ jogs or played sport with friends but i've experienced hypo like symptoms most times which is really frustrating. I feel that I have to pre plan everything which annoys me...

As I am an 18 year old student about to go to uni the chances of me never touching alcohol are non existent. I understand I have to be careful as a type 1 diabetic but what risk does alcohol actually have? Plus ive heard about hypos which mirror being drunk? To clarify does that mean feeling...

No there is a law which states that you cannot be descriminated against because of diabetes

Thankyou everyone! it just annoys me because i go from the happiest guy in the world to miserable in the space of a few mins! Its comforting to know others have experienced and come through it though, hopefully i will too! I just feel, i dunno, that the worlds against me (dramatic i know!) but i...

Hi. Im a 18 year old man who has been receantly diagnosd with type 1 diabetes. I've noticed that my mood has decreased significantly since and i have had a very short temper, often getting angry over nothing. I was just wondering wheter anyone else has experienced this?? I just want to be on my...

When were you diagnosed?? Im just starting to get used to it and begining to understand how i my body feels. Just try not to worry, i know it seems hard and that there is to much information to take in but you'll begin to understand yourself! :)
