Although I have type 1 diabetes, I quit because of the money i was spending on them. Here's some advice, I found it easier going completely cold turkey instead of the patches and gum etc, but everyone is different.

Would love to know if there is any diabetics living in the Middlesbrough/Newcastle kind of area :) would love to get a group going in my student union or something just don't know any diabetics at the moment

Remember you are quite open to illness with diabetes. I remember I had the same symptoms a few years ago and in the end it was food poisoning. Hope you feel better in a few days
i totally agree with you, its annoying because the only way to understand the feeling of having diabetes, is to have diabetes. i know a few people that have type 2 but its not really the same as type 1 hehe
Keep it clean and you will be fine :) and during the tattoo just adjust, eat a mars bar before it, get your sugar to like 12-15 and if it lasts about an hour you will be fine. They can stop during though if you want to drink lucozade or something
i smoke weed alot and im a type 1 diabetic. you know the best thing? when you're high doing your lantus doesnt hurt. :) also in comparison to alcohol, weed is a godsend.
im the same man, well im 20 but in the past 7 years i have lacked control. Its annoying because my dad and brother also have diabetes and they are so much better at it. hopefully a cure comes along soon :)
I go freaking nuts. honestly im so glad dafne exists now because i eat way too much... chips, burgers, pasta you name it, i really cant fill my self up on just a snack and my sleeping patterns are all over the shop at the moment haha
They are deffinetly linked, for me its because i get jealous and annoyed that people don't understand it and think its **** easy. You need to get a diabetic best friend :) and try not to let it define your personality too much. on the brightside it makes us like superhumans, we are unique and...
