[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 731460, member: 94348"] Hi, I do think Type one diabetes is a lot more than a medical condition - and that the age range 20-30 is a very difficult time to get it - i did - there is so much change involved - and change in self perception - deep philosophical issues also - without insulin I cannot live sort of issues - i nearly died in a coma on diagnosis but everyone without insulin has to accept this - also issues that a man might find even more difficult - like lack of total independence and autonomy - knowing one might have at some point to rely on someone else to help - in a hypo for instance, and also knowing you cant just get up and go without a lot of thought and pre-planning, and some back up. thankfully at last there is more recognition of the emotional impact - just seen the news from DiabetesUK 10th January 2015 – Patients with [URL='http://www.webmd.boots.com/diabetes/default.htm']diabetes[/URL] are being left to struggle with the emotional impact of their condition because of a lack of[URL='http://www.webmd.boots.com/mental-health/default.htm']psychological[/URL] support, according to [URL='http://www.webmd.boots.com/diabetes/guide/diabetes-finding-help-index']Diabetes UK[/URL]. It says this is a concern because [URL='http://www.webmd.boots.com/depression/default.htm']depression[/URL] rates for people with[URL='http://www.webmd.boots.com/diabetes/ss/slideshow-type-1-diabetes-overview']diabetes[/URL] are twice as high as in the rest of the population.
