I've got two little Border Terriers! This is me and Poppet And this is Rosie :)

I'm 19, been diabetic for just under 10 years and I think what I have at the moment is diabetes burnout.. I just read about it on the website and apparently it's where a diabetic is neglecting what you know you have to do as a diabetic, this particular line is what made me think I'm going...

Hahah these are funny! I had one where I was at school and I remember someone saying jokingly "oh Jess you're gonna die cause you're diabetic" so I guess I was acting weird by then.. But I went to my lesson and had my head on the desk doing the worst handwriting ever for my final project :S and...

Hahaha thats a great one :P Has that happened to you?

Thank you :) I will try to do it and see what happens, its worth a shot

Haha it happened in college, I was too nervous to say what it was really :P

Thanks guys, that was helpful, especially the idea of taking each day as it comes, I will definitley try to remember this for tomorrow and will update my progress :)

Thank you everyone.. thats really nice what you said weewillie :)

I'm feeling a bit down, I know I'm only young, I'm 19, but I'm feeling down as I haven't been in a relationship for about 2 years and I miss that feeling... I haven't met anyone since my last boyfriend that I am interested or that is interested in me, and I know I'm probably overreacting but I...

Hey all, I'm nearly 19 and I've had type 1 for about 10 years but I find it so hard to inject in front of people that dont know I'm diabetic. Also to even tell people I'm diabetic I find so hard. I see some people and they don't mind, they just inject anytime, any place. I wish I was like that...

I'm nearly 19, I've been diagnosed with type 1 just under 10 years, and I've never really had a problem with this before (maybe because my mum kept on top of it) but recently I don't test my sugars at all, especially after the DAFNE course, as I just inject for the amount of food I'm eating. I...

Hey :) Just wanted to say I passed my driving test last week without using glasses, I am very happy about it, but am still considering just getting a cheapish pair of glasses at some point for my "off days" Thanks for your help x

Im exactly the same! Maybe its something to do with 18 year olds :P I just feel like I'm pushing it to the back of my priorities and ignoring really crutial things like testing, I hardly ever test, and I know thats so dangerous

I know exactly what you mean! Well at least I think you do :P I get it sometimes and I feel like I'm not really there and I feel like I'm dreaming or something and I have to take a moment to get back in the zone haha

Ive read in a few places that diabetics have to renew theirs, 1 2 or 3 years after passing.. is this true? If so does it mean you have to retake your test? Ive got my test coming up , im so nervous! Should I tell my instructor that I have type 1 diabetes or doesn't it really matter? Thanks x

Hey all :) I'm learning to drive and I don't wear glasses, so obviously I wrote on my provisional lisence that I don't need glasses for driving.. however I know that some days my vision is worse than others (anyone else get that??) And so yeah, most days I am able to read a number plate at the...

Re: Hi Hello there :D Welcome

Hey there! Sorry it's a bit late, but welcome to the forum :D

Firstly, ahh that sounds like you haven't had an easy time! Welcome as well, it's great you're here.. The honeymoon period thing isn't too much to get excited about, it's just a time near when you're diagnosed where your pancreas produces some insulin, but it just means you have to adjust your...

Hey again! :) welcome back
