    Upset because of my new doctor

    Yeah I should have done that! I complained to my diabetes nurse and will see what she says :D Also didnt say this, but he also said, "so you take levemir, novo rapid, AND levothyroxine!?" Which I thought was quite unprofessional really!

    People's reactions to diabetes

    I know a girl that started a new college just when I did. She is also Type 1 diabetic, and unlike me she is so open and public about the condition and has often just injected herself infront of people when I was there. Afterwards when she had left people said things like, "is she diabetic?" and...

    How can I get my motivation back?

    I think I may have posted about this before, but I just am struggling so much with my motivation for my diabetes control at the moment. The hospital hasn't asked for a HBA1c test in nearly a year and I don't know what my blood glucose levels are right now, I never ever test, possibly less than...

    Portrayal of diabetes in the media

    Has anyone seen Hansel and Gretel the new movie? It's called Witch Hunters or something, and I think they have made Hansel diabetic because of eating too much sugar and sweets when he was younger... Then near the end he is losing strength so someone gives him his injection that he has to have...

    Fairly awkward moment at work!

    That is true! I will practise telling people, hopefully it'll get easier haha Tomorrow I'm talking about my diabetes with the school nurse (started a new college, it's procedure) and so I guess that'll be good to talk openly and freely about the condition I sound like i've just been diagnosed...

    Fairly awkward moment at work!

    Hmm I guess, I found it hard enough telling my teacher even when she asked if anyone had any medical issues, is anyone else like this and how have you got past it?

    Fairly awkward moment at work!

    It's not that I don't like peoples reactions, I just don't know how to fit it into the conversation, or what words to use to tell people, I know it's not really that hard, I've just always found telling people very awkward, I'm getting better though... very slightly
