[QUOTE="Saber, post: 559942, member: 111407"] Hi there,I found being diabetic hard at first. My friends at college did not have any restrictions on eating and they seemed more healthy than me and did not get so tired. I started on diet but found I was starving myself to keep the sugar levels down. I never thought at the time to discuss it with the hospital. I was just in my early twenties and that was boring for me at the time. I too went on insulin shortly after as tablets did not do anything.(Only tried them a couple of weeks) As I got more used to having diabetes(type1) and being on insulin, I found I told friends who I could trust. I was selective and did not tell everyone. I think we are all different to how we respond to making this decision. Do what you feel best about it. Do you have some friends you are closer to that you could trust? Sometimes it is a good idea because if you are on insulin and you forget to eat or if you do lots of exercise, your sugar level might go too low and you could have a 'hypo'. (That is an attack when the blood sugar goes too low which you will probably know about.)They can help you to have some sugar if you need it. When people act quick it stops you getting too bad and having to go to hospital. Your parents will have to adjust too to you having diabetes but they will still love you lots. I am sure they understand you do not mean to get a bad mood sometimes. Being in a mood can sometimes be due to your diabetes sugar level changing a lot in short spaces of time. It is not your fault.
