[QUOTE="Rhea1, post: 1719610, member: 385444"] Hi I was di agnosised at 7years old. Just before my 8th birthday and a few days before christmas. I remember spending Christmas eve at the hospital being shown how to use blood glucose machines. It was very surreal. To be honest my mom just cried and I thought that a bit of medicine will make it all go away...i soon realised that it wasn't reality. That's when I started to struggle and accept my diabetes. Type 1 and on insulin checking my bloods up to 10 times a day. We this really my life? I couldn't have as many treats as I use to have...everything had to be checked for carbs.....always checking my blood....it was taking over my life....i had enough, I just wanted it to go away.... .i was the only child in my school with it... I felt isolated at times.. restricted. Angry....why me? What would happen if I stopped taking insulin and not checking my blood...eating things I'm not suppose to. This was becoming my life. I'm just over 9 years old now and i still feel the same. Where do i go, who do i turn to..... ? Reality i just dont know. [/QUOTE]
