Hello,
I am 21 and a type 1 diabetic. I have been type 1 since I was 4 years old and recenly I am struggling a lot.
A family member recently passed away and this is effecting my blood sugars, as well as having depression. My blood sugars are between the low 20s and low 30s, I struggle to get them down because to be honest, I don't really care about my diabetes. My depression obviously doesn't help because i don't have any interest in looking after myself. I can't talk to any family members about this because I find it to difficult. I find it difficult to talk to anyone about this, doctors included. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated because I feel completely alone at the minute and I am struggling to cope. Thanks.
