[QUOTE="TonySleigh, post: 962237, member: 212899"] Hi, I'm type 1 diabetic which was diagnosed in 1973 at the age of 7. I generally keep fit, eat well (no junk food) and only drink about 8-10 units of alcohol per week. I also have recently played drums in a band but decided to leave as I was having too many hypos and was affecting my concentration and the fear of having hypos was always at the back of my mind. Not only in the band but also at work. As I have got older my lack of confidence is getting worse, I also live on my own and nervous to go on a date as I have also been rejected a couple of times because of my condition and would rather not put myself in that position. The good news is that I am now going through the process of having an insulin pump which will hopefully stabilise my blood sugars. I just wondered if there are any other diabetics going through the same confidence issues caused by their condition or is it just me? [/QUOTE]
