[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 764046, member: 59930"] Hi liv, I'm sorry you feel so low but I can tell you for sure that ur not the only one so ur not alone. I have only been diagnosed for 2 years and only went onto insulin in October and I'm pretty much the same as you, I know nobody at all with type 1 diabetes. My friends didn't understand or care at all either - cue a major breakdown from me after a trip to Burger King on the way back from a hen weekend in Wakefield! There are people on here who will be able to give u so much more advice than me as they have coped with this illness for far longer but I can tell u a couple of things that I have learned recently and those are: Diabetes is bad but it could be worse - it could be soooo much worse. It's here for life and it's not going away and we need to control IT rather than have IT control us - it's a part of our life, it's not our whole life. You can scream, shout, kick, cry...and then you still have to go and give urself an insulin jab because u have to if u want to stay alive so the anger and the energy spent being angry about it will have been for nothing... So it's best to try and accept it the best way u can and save ur energy for something more worthy.. My sister has also recently been diagnosed with Ceoliac disease and so she has many of the same struggles as we do when it comes to how she fits food into her life... We're not alone and I hope that gives you at least a little comfort :-) [/QUOTE]
