I was diagnosed with borderline ADHD when I was 4 years old with a referral for when I turned 6, but then I was hospitalised with diabetes, so it never got reassessed. I have asked for another referral now, but the waiting list is 3 years, by that time I will be 31. Can anyone give me any...

I was diagnosed as borderline as a 4 year old with a referral when I was 6 - but then I was hospitalised with diabetes, so it never got reassessed, but I am having another referral, as my mental health and illness are completely out of whack. I have never had any treatment or support for ADHD...

Thank you, yeah I have it for abdominal migraines and it has help subside then intense pain. Thanks you for reccomdation.

I am just going to monitor, it could be the fact I was in intense pain or it could be the Amatrypteline. I have been on this insulin for 21 years, so I very much doubt it is the insulin. Will see how it goes in the next few days, it's finally come down to 12, so hopefully I just need to adjust...

Thank you, I read a lot on doctor Google, and as a type 1 diabetic I am curious because my doctor wants me to take it long-term. I just don't trust Dr. Google all that much, cause if I did pretty certain I would have 2 days to live haha.

I haven't changed anything. It could be a pure coincidence. I will monitor throughout the day, but it would be interesting to see if others have had the same effect.

The only other cause could be because I am in severe pain. But, I have never done insulin and had absolutely no reaction like I did last night... I am baffled.

Hello Everyone, I have recently been advised to take Amatrypteline daily as they think I get abdominal Migraines. I took my first one last night and went to bed with bloods at 8, then woke up at 17 so gave myself 8 units of fast acting (this would bring me down to around 8 usually), then woke up...

It went fine, just as any normal check and they said there were no changes. It will be fine, they say if you manage your bloods things will slowly get better too. Easier said than done to not worry, but I am sure yours will go fine x

Hello I am 26, been diabetic for 20 years! Feel free to ask me any questions/chat, I haven't really met anyone with diabetes either!

As long as you know your limits, stick by them. I used to drink, now I don't bother! Too much effort, I spike and then crash, I enjoy diet coke, and that's good enough for me. Never feel peer pressure to drink, I am sure if your friends are real friends they will totally get it. You have to look...

Relationships are so hard, especially with Diabetes. Unfortunately it is hard to find someone mature enough to date/have a relationship with a diabetic, because they feel a lot of worry and pressure, but I also think it is down to ignorance and lack of understanding. I have had partners who have...

Hello, feel free to message me! Type 1 diabetic for 20 years, I am 26.

I try to make sure I inject 45 mins before I eat, if I don't I spike! But sometimes it's hard to remember, especially if I am busy or stressed.

Hello All, I am 26 and been diabetic for 20 years! Time flies, when your having fun! I admit I have always felt quite lonely when it comes to diabetes, I don't know anyone with this, and have just had to figure life out with the help of Google of course. I am happy to help or chat to anyone...

Thank you Grant. Yeah, I was hoping not to bother the diabetic team as I understand they are very busy, and especially at the moment. Plus I just see them for my appointments, nothing else. I will take a look at that group you sent thank you for your advice! I understand, I know a couple of...

Bless you, good luck for the injection. Usually things always seem scarier than they are. I haven't had one, but I can definitely understand the worry. Hope it goes well.

I don't really get much info from my clinic unfortunately.

Completely get that. It is more to meet people in the area who are also type 1, as far as I am concerned, I follow the rules.

Yes, will definitely ask. Wow, that's so strange. Poor man! I think if I was going to start a group it would be very much a small, thing, as I don't think I could create a proper "official group", just a little thing. It would just be nice to have people who get me for once.
