hiya my name's Lucy
I was dignosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 5 years old, 10 years ago
I remember coming out of the doctors surgery with my mum crying next to me and not understanding what was going on, the next thing I knew I was in hospital with a drip in my hand.
I used to have a HUGE phobia of needles back then and I used to lock myself in the hospital bathrooms to get away from having to do my injections
I also remember being held down to the hospital bed by about 5 nurses just so that they could do my finger prick
I'm MUCH better with needles now though :lol: they're just a daily thing to me now and I'm used to it
it's nice to be able to finally talk to people with the same condition as there aren't many people that I know of with diabetes that I can really share my problems with
