You all make it sound so easy! In 11 years I've never had a proper consultant, not done DAFNE and had any kind of proper support until now so I'm hoping my new consultant will help me feel a bit better!! I don't know any other diabetics so I guess this is my only place to rant and have someone...

Thanks, just wanna bury my head in the sand sometimes! I had a good last HBA1C so must be doing something right! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I've been type 1 for 11 years and recently I've just felt so low. I've had 2 hospital admissions in the last month, one for a bad hypo and one for DKA... I'm stressed out with uni, personal stuff, weight gain and just want to feel normal!!!! How does anyone else cope when they feel ******? I...

I was diagnosed at 12 and want through a similar thing. I was kind of in denial about being diabetic - I was the only one in school, didn't want to be labelled a freak ect so I kind of acted 'normal'. I was lying to my mum about my readings but she's a pharmacist so she eventually clocked on...

Sorry to hear this. I had a seizure just before christmas in my sleep, my first one ever. I came round to 3 paramedics and oxygen around me also. I had to be given 2 glucose injections to bring me round and I was covered in sweat! It was horrible waking up and hearing what had happened and it...

I find half a slice of whole meal bread with peanut butter works for me but it's about trial and error, as mentioned above. Hope you find something which works! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

My consultant told me the name of an app which he said was very good for counting carbs etc but I forgot what the name was! Does anyone use one of these apps and could help?! Thanks!

6.0 - i'm aiming for my next one to be 5.5 so i'm working hard!

I'm glad someone can relate to me! (Well not glad you were ill but you know lol!) I do not know ANYONE who is diabetic and I had friends and people I know asking me "oh are you sure you wernt ill with a really bad hangover?" and "why did your mum call an ambulance?!" It's hard sometimes trying...

Great.... I have 8 exams coming up in uni this term! Lets hope stress won't literally get the better of me lol!

I've had that too...but luckily not while drinking! I've decided to cut out ALL alcohol for 3 months and see how it goes!

I had the same problem... as soon as I turned 16 I was handed over to the care of my GP and it all went downhill from there....see a team in a hospital if you can, much better level of care!

Vicious circle!!! Why can't life be simple eh?!

Has anyone noticed raised blood sugars when stressed or upset? Been very stressed out recently and I have noticed this - whether its coincidence or not, does anyone feel the same?!

Lucozade works best for me - and I agree with the others... treating your hypo is way more important!! I tried weight watchers a few months ago and for some reason it played havoc with my blood sugars so be careful! Good luck x

Hello! Sorry to hear and it must be a shock but you will adjust to life with diabetes very quickly :) I was diagnosed 11 years ago at the age of 12 and upon diagnosis my blood sugar was 47!!!!!! No lie, it was that high, and I was in hospital for a week. It will take some getting used to but...
