Hi guys, my name is Mattlyn and I have had type one for 10 years now.
I came to this website for many reasons, but the main one being I need help. The last ten years for me have been the hardest. I was diagnosed at about 10 and just wasn't ready to "give my life away". Ever since I was diagnosed I have never been able to have control over my diabetes. The main reason I came here is because I need help. I can't seem to do this on my own, no matter how hard I try.. I find myself forgetting to check my sugars and do my insulin and I can't figure out why. I want to get to know other people with the same disease as me and see how they handle it, because I don't. I don't even think I've coped with it yet to be honest. I need tips and tricks and anything in order to help me be healthy. I've already had complications due to uncontrolled diabetes such as gastroparesis and gastritis which neither are any fun.
If anyone has anything they can help me with it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much!
