Hey, I'm 23 and was diagnosed when I was 17. I'm super struggling atm so always welcome to chat to other diabetics...

Any more responses? :)

Thank you :)

Haha. Thank you!!

Hi, I deleted my original thread because I'm changed the format and have made a survey for it to be more accessible and anonymous if need be. I'm collecting research into diabetes and eating disorders for a university assignment I'm working on. It would be great to hear your responses. (and get...

Been kind of ignoring it but now I've realised and had enough of feeling rubbish. Either too low or too high. Thank you. I need to start recording everything again, I used to, then life got in the way and I never had time to write everything down.

This is helpful, seems like a good place to start. Thank you.

I'm trying to get my sugars back in control, I'm finding myself hypo up to 3 times a day and it's so exhausting. I've been a bit lazy with monitoring since I started university in September because I've stupidly been putting my education first. Really need to sort myself out before something bad...

Thank you everyone. I'm also curious about attaching your pump to yourself, like does it hurt anymore than what an injection does? How often do you have to change it? Can they easily get infected?

I went to my diabetes check up appointment today and because I'm doing so well my specialist has suggested perhaps going on a pump. I don't know much about how it works, I'm researching now but I was just wondering if any of you could help me weigh out the pros and the cons and your experiences...

I used to feel uncomfortable but as times gone on, I can do it in public with ease

Congratulations :)

I once had a hypo during my endo appointment and my specialist noticed before I did haha.

My positive is (I'm still in education) definitely being able to sometimes pull the 'I'm diabetic' card when you're feeling unwell. Haha

I've had many burnouts and it's hard to get back into the mindset of controlling again, but it's worth it. I find there's nothing more satisfying than a day of good blood sugars. It's a matter of training your mind into KNOWING this benefits your health :)

The paramedic said to just rest, he made sure I ate that morning. Yes, sorry not enough information, I'm on Levemir at night and Novorapid at meal times. My pre-bed time levels range between 4 and 12 and I was instructed by a nurse to give myself 15 units of Levemir. I normally have quite low...

So recently I've been hypoing every single morning when I wake up, but yesterday morning I got up, I passed out/was unconscious/was fitting and my family had to call an ambulance. I've had enough now and I need to do something about these hypo's in the morning, I don't know what triggers then...
