Hi guys!!
So I've been T1 for 14 years now, injecting 4 times daily for the past 6 years or so and lately my control has been hit and miss.
It's only recently occurred to me to look for some forums / blogs to see if there are any fellow diabetics to talk to and share stories with - and it turns out there are a load of you!
I'm so glad to have came across this site as I've been struggling in my own little bubble for the past few years, and as much as family and friends try, it's just not the same as talking to people who know what living with this pain in the ass condition is like!
I've been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember (I'm 24 now) and I've now lost 3.5 stone - I still have 1 more to go but touch wood I'm getting there.
Have gone back to basics with my diabetes and tracking EVERYTHING I eat, how much exercise I do and tracking insulin - which is totally a full time job in itself, but I'm hoping it will really help in the long run with understanding my body a little bit better.
So that's a little bit about me - I hope to get to know you guys better and we can share knowledge and experience to get even better and pretending to be a pancreas!!!
