Stop being so hard on yourself, things change when you have diabetes but you have to take little steps first. The doctors will try to get your diabetes stable first but while they do this it is normal to feel down. Try and learn as much as you can about diabetes and medication that you are...

There are no right and wrong was to cope with depression it is a case of whatever works for you. We are all different people and as the first diabetic doctor told me there are no two diabetics the same.

There is no easy way to tell them but you must look after you. When you get diabetes your life is turned upside down, with so many things to take in. Just explain to them that you were trying to sort your own head out before you wanted to tell them, they might be angry with you but come on here...

Shescooby that is the main problem getting a pump is funding but the problem is that in the long run a pump works out cheaper! The problem is finding staff to do the pump introduction( not that the goverment will say) you have choices you can contact PALS and ask for them to set a meeting up...

The people have given you good advice but remember these are mock exams. If you are worried tell a teacher you trust of how you are feeling, it may be worthwhile getting in touch with a diabetic nurse and tell them how you feel. You are not alone i have a brother who also has diabetes but has...

I got diabetes aged 3 in 1979 and was given a 50/50 chance of living. I got through that and remember the old glass needles and many visits to hospital and found out that it is like being prisoner in your own body, as no one can see inside of you. My problems really started when i went to the...

When i have been in hospital my BG always goes high due to been stuck in a bed, so the doctors put my insulin up to bring it down. I have had arguments with doctors and all the rest of the diabetic team telling them that once i get out of hospital that my sugar will drop low as i will be doing...

Hi I found that if you drink vodka and diet coke it does not alter your normal bg but always take some glucose tablets out with you. The beer tends to make your sugar go up but can drop quickly.

Have you got any insulin pens doctor told me to have an injection of 5 units and increase basel rate by 20%. The check bloods every hour to see if its coming down, if you start to vomit best to get to hospital asap

Some people just do no enough about diabetes. Once on a night out I was talking to a girl who asked if she could catch diabetes off me, I told her there was no way you could catch it. I then went to the toilet and when I came back she was gone. People just do not understand that diabetes chooses...

Thank you all for the kind words, feeling better now just feel like a dart board with all the injections

Infections do effect your bs so it will be more unstable. Novorapid works more or less in 10 mins and can last up to 4 hours

Have your ever thought about an insulin pump!!!

I was sent to the hospital by my GP to the admissions ward and when I got there was no beds so was sent to A and E(blood hi, keytones 2.9 and vomiting). I was seen by triage nurse who asked what was a matter told her and was sent out and told that I would see a doctor in about an hour. In time...

If I was you I would contact PALS and ask them to help or may be contact the local health authority and complain about it. Ask your local GP to write a letter of support to you. You could also try another hospital and see if they have a better pump program
