Hey all Ive been diabetic for about 8 ish years, since I was 10.. in primary and secondary school most people knew I have diabetes. Now that I am at college, some of my classmates are aware, and only one teacher knows.. and this wasnt a problem, as i tend to run high rather than low, but...

Hey all, Just been thinking.. It's always nice to get a bit of sympathy from people when theres something wrong like diabetes, I suppose it's because they are understanding the hardships we go through every day, yet while it is welcomed from other people and friends, I hate my parents or family...

I hate Diabetes because I feel like I can never do anything without having to think about diabetes first which is not always easy if you are going for a night out with your friends and you're the only one still fussing around making sure you've done or got everything. Not to mention if you...

Im on Levemir twice a day and Novo Rapid with my meals

I did the DAFNE course recently, and after I did it, I felt so good about my diabetes, like I could handle it so well. However since then I started college, so my schedule is all over the place, and diabetes is sort of coming second ( I know its not great :S ) The thing is though, I'm doing all...

Thank you, I found the way you put this so helpful, and yeah I guess it is stupid hiding, cause it's not something we should be ashamed of :)

Today I was at college, and I couldn't eat any of my lunch because I forgot to bring my Novo Rapid.. I know it was a stupid mistake, especially seeing as my BS levels were high anyway :? Well anyway I was just wondering if this did happen again, what would you suggest I do? Did I do the right...

I was just wondering how you guys do it? I don't want to just do it incase they have a fear of needles, but I find it hard to tell new people I'm going to inject before I do so. So how can I inject without having to run to the toilet? I've tried doing it discretely but it's not always easy so I...

Ahh thank you everyone for your help! I had my first eye drops yesterday, and It didn't hurt.. but wasn't the best thing ever, and it did make my headache! ahah well I guess it's just something we have to go through :/

Do you think I should ask for the childrens drops then so that it clears quicker? I'm 17, and this is the first time, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind :S

Sorry I was just wondering.. I'm having my eyes screened tomorrow, and they are using eye drops for the first time, how long does the effect of the eye drops last? I just need to know because I'm supposed to be meeting up with a friend not long after! Thanks!

I have type 1 and often I can feel my heart beating out of time, or like missing one beat, and kind of beating funny, its hard to explain, and it only is so often but could the two things be linked? Also.. what is that? and what should I do about it?

What do the eye drops they use for the diabetic eye screening feel like? Last time I went, they said as I am an adult now, they will need to use the eye drops for me, and they said "sorry about that, I know it's not the nicest of things :S" So what do they actually feel like? Do they sting, or...

I dont know if this has anything to do with diabetes, but I thought i'd share it in case (Im type 1) My vision is okay not amazing but I don't wear glasses (I'm short-sighted) My right eye has okay vision, however my left eye has such awful vision, like everything is so blurry when I shut my...

Like people that know you're diabetic but dont know you take shots.. or havent actually seen you take one before. how do you just do it when you are with them, and you have to do it infront of them? :|

Thank you so much guys, your messages have really helped me! Im not just saying that, they really have, so thank you! :D <3

If you always have regular sugar levels, then are there any complications you could get by being diabetic? Or do you only get complications if you don't control your sugar levels?

I'll go on there more, so that I might catch someone eventually :P
