Hey everyone! I'm Catarina (Cat - I know it's sounds weird in English but I'm actually Portuguese - is my nickname) and I'm 16 :) I've been diagnosed only two months ago so I'm really new at this whole thing! Any of my friends are diabetics so I don't really have anyone to talk to and I thought it would be nice to talk to someone my age (or near) with diabetes :)
(I apologize for my bad English)

Hi Cat,

My advise to yourself would be to read up on diabetes. There is too much conflicting advise everywhere between specialists, patients etc. I strongly would suggest you start by going on Amazon.co.uk and purchasing a book called Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution, read the reviews, the book answers almost most questions that hoover around diabetes.

I will do that, thank you very much! I actually have one book caled "Type 1 Diabetes in children, teenagers and young adults" by Dr. Ragnar Hanas which has been helping me a lot, so that's some good advice!

Dislikes
I do not like my diabetes (Like all diabetic, I think) I don't like not being able to talk to someone who understands the problems of diabetes, I don't like rainy days and more things.
