[QUOTE="bethjade, post: 1299950, member: 351737"] I am currently a third year student nurse obviously training to be an adult nurse. Last year I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after a HCA checked my sugar levels and they were through the roof !! I ended up in A&E on a sliding scale opposite patients that I cared for on a daily basis. It was the most scariest point of my life and I still cannot really comprehend the reality of which type 1 entails. I am fortunate enough to have experienced the effects of diabetes and that drives me to take control of my levels and maintain a good grasp on this illness. Training to be a nurse takes its strain on my diabetes control, it interferes with every aspect of my life which I'm sure everyone else on this forum can sympathise with but at the end of the day we are strong people and if we can deal with diabetes we can deal with anything :) [/QUOTE]
