[QUOTE="Lazell123, post: 1927832, member: 155309"] Hello ktkrshw. I'm sorry you are having problems at the moment, but you can overcome this. Use the help and support that your family, friends and the wonderful people on here can give you, but at the end of the day only YOU can make the necessary changes. You are so young and you have your whole life ahead of you. You have so much technology available to you to help you live a full and productive life and you must use it to its full advantage, I am now 60 years old and I have been type 1 for 57 years. For the first 25 years or so of my life there were no blood testing machines. The only way to check your sugar levels was by testing your wee with a test tube, 5 drops of wee and ten drops of water and a blue and white tablet added to the mix, which then bubbled away in the test tube to give you a reading. It was like a science laboratory!! It was very difficult and a lot of it was guess work. I have my wonderful parents to thank for their love, help, support and encouragement throughout my childhood and into adulthood. They never stopped looking after me!! In 1980 I married my fantastic husband and in 1983 I took a big risk and gave birth to our wonderful son. So ktkrshw I am living proof that there is life after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and YOU CAN DO IT TOO. Stay positive, get on track, and I wish you all the very best. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
