[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2279467, member: 525950"] Well I do socialise with some people my age but I’m 18 so our school ended this year. There’s this thing that happens when people speak to you until school ends then they just keep you on social media but never really talk to you. It’s quite a common thing in younger people, I guess they just “move on” to their next chapter of life. I still talk to many people though but I don’t want to go on and on about my diabetes with them— they just know I am a T1 diabetic and that’s all they need to know in case I faint next to them. There’s nothing really to discuss with them about and this whole coronavirus situation means I’m bored at home all the time. The most interesting thing I do is walk to Tesco 1-2 times a day to get food so imagine how lowkey depressed I am. I’ve been out shopping by myself and everything is fine as long as it has been at least 3-4 hours since my bolus, as the effect of the insulin runs out my body can increase its BG naturally so I don’t need to worry and I can literally walk around for 4 hours and have a flat BG profile. My mother’s cousin’s child— which is my 2nd cousin I guess?— has T1D but she’s like 11-12. I don’t really know her and I don’t want to really speak to a child since I’m pretty sure she doesn’t manage her diabetes but her parents do. I think because she is young and her mum is a bit clueless they put her on a very simple insulin regime— apparently she takes 2 injections a day and I really can’t imagine her mum carb counting. Because I am so bored and have nothing but my diabetes to think about I’m on this forum quite often and one day apparently I checked my Libre 96 times! [/QUOTE]
