I dunno if this will help at all haha but I was diagnosed this Jan, aged 18. And I was fascinated at first, a little shocked, understandably, but very intrigued and excited in a sense that I was special enough to get type 1 ;) haha I suffered terrible moodswings, still do! Perhaps explain to him...

I am completely flabbergasted :(! I can't help but cry now when I listen to his music because it's such a waste of talent, I am really gutted that he lived and died by a tarnished name, I don't think for a second he was a paedophile or whatever, I just think he was naive and didn't understand...

Honey, if there's one thing I've learnt in life it's that you just gotta stay positive :) I'm only 18 and I was diagnosed this year, and it scared me silly, I was on the bad side of it because i went undiagnosed for so long I was in severe ketoacidosis, and my eye sight certainly isnt as good as...

My worst hypo was 1.6, I've been diagnosed nearly 6 months and I'm 18, I was sat in bed with my boyfriend and I felt fine, then absolutely suddenly I felt like I was going to pass out, managed to make it to my sisters room and fell over onto the bed, everytime i blinked it went black and i...

and I am so so so nervous ! I've done pretty well since bein diagnosed in January, though for the past few weeks i've had a bit of a relapse, dunno whats going on! Do you think they'll be a bit soft if its not that great, seeing as I'm still *kinda* new haha. xo

Around July last year, I started getting extremely thirsty, but a lot of my friends had throat infections and had similar symptoms so I assumed I'd caught it too, so I got antibiotics, then developed thrush, my sister told me that she gets thrush when she's on antibiotics, so I ignored it, then...

I'm 18 and I was diagnosed type 1 in january, I didn't have time to sit back and think about it til the other day as most people will understand, once you're diagnosed, you have to dive in with both feet, theres no time to sit and dwelll, its straight on with finger pricks and injections, I find...

Thanks for the reply Suzi :) is there nothing i could/should be doing in the mean time ? I'm just a bit concerned the insulin isn't going to be released as successfully as usual xo

I just injected my Levemir (background insulin) into my thigh, and i just felt it and it seems theres a lump about 2 inches wide under my skin, it isnt protruding on the outside, it just feels pretty hard, what do i do! (sorry, i've only been diagnosed a couple of weeks so it's all still...
