Hi I'm a 15 year old who was diagonosed last year in 2011 on March 15th, (the day after my brother's birthday) with type one diabetes. :thumbdown: :cry:
I take good care of myself and am on novorapid with food and levimir at bed. I carb count using ratios and my accu chek expert. My hba1c was 12.6 when diagnosed and now its been 7.2/7.1 for the last year. I rarley seee my dsn or dietican, as they only care about newly diagnosed patients and not me, beacuse I know what I'm doing. I am doing GCSE's for the next two years and I have alot of stress in my life. But even though I do eveythign right, things still go wrong, and I have high bloods, even though I correct them with extra injections. But all the other type one teenagers i know do not take care of themsleves at all, and seem in a better state then me. I am fed up of being the only actually bothering to look afetr myself and I still get big mood swigns when i'm high. I get quite depressed about tis sometimes, can anybody help me with advice.
Thank you xx :eh:
