Yeah I can relate to most things you're talking about there [emoji23] It's not too bad it's just the knowing that it is there everyday haha! And yes there are meetings but nobody attends who are below 60 odd haha! I would say it has been the making of me too, definatley wouldn't be the person I...

Yeah I had a check up today at the hospital and mentioned it and he wasn't fussed mentioned it could be anxiety but I'm not stressed much of the time, do you smoke? Could just be down to health tbh I'm not as healthy as I could be...

Thanks for the advice everyone I have my yearly check up at the hospital next week anyway so will bring it up then, it's not really a 'pain' as such it's more like a feeling of somebody pushing on my chest where my heart is, so is more uncomfortable than painful.

Thanks I will I was just wondering if any other type 1s have had this due to high glucose

Does anyone else experience or know the cause of chest pains, it feels like somebody is pressing on my chest where my heart is alot of the time, it's not so much painful just very uncomfortable, thanks.

Yeah I know same here and definately, it can change in minutes if you eat the wrong thing haha! And yes I am are you? Don't let it get you down ana, you can't let it control your life!x

No mate it's not! Haha shouldn't have put 15-20 really! You're a 'young diabetic' don't worry man ;)

Oh really... Well atleast it's under control now! I had a similar issue for about a year and a half I didn't test once and hardly gave insulin but got sick of feeling so ill all of the time so am now on top of it a lot more, it's still hard but it's okay, I'm new to this forum and it is really...

That's a long time! How are you finding it?x

Yes I agree with you there it definatly! Sugar is addictive! But you know, it's upto the individual to treat there illness as they wish and if you look after yourself well most of the time the odd binge is not going to kill you as most 'diabetic nurses' who I find aren't even diabetic them...

Thankyou @Gaz-M and you!:)

Hey buddy I'll message you now :)

Oh god yes I can imagine mate! I respect that alot actually as I couldn't really imagine using big syringes, and yeah I have what I can eat and what to try and stay away from really I know what you mean about the spiking aswell I get that alot at college as I'm sat around alot, thanks very much...

Hi Gaz, yes I have found myself doing this, not really to 'fit in' as such more as that's how I am as a person I like my food! But I am realising how much it will impact my later life and am getting on track now, I have got my Hba1c down from 146 to the 70's now so that is a huge improvement

I am a 17 lad from England and have been diabetic for a few years now, personally I have only met one other diabetic my age who I don't really speak much too, I would like to talk to some people my age about general lifestyle and stuff really :)

I honestly must say I am probably the worst diabetic ever! I'm 17 at the moment and have only just got my life back on track since diagnosis a few years back, for the first few months I was perfect until I had a tiny binge on a couple of biscuits only to realise all those times my nurses were...

Sorry if I cause any further confusion but I am now also confused, if you say that a Hba1c it is measured in % then why is it when I was not looking after myself mine reached a peak of 146 at one point.?
