Ever since i have had type 1 diatbeties ive hated it, I was 14 at the time. I got told later on when i wanted to go in the army that i couldnt as i would be a liability. I never used to talk about my diatbeties, or let any one know i had it.
It used to really well controlled but then they put me on the 4 times a day injections, witch is when it started to go bad, my average reading went up to 13.8. The dr blamed me for it although i was doing all the injections at the right time and everything. They never gave me the training for it and as a tree sergan now i am active all day. I have a health diet, but yet he told me if it doesnt change that ill be dead by 25. I am now 20.
I now have it sorted out since getting training on how to do it.
I have recently broken up with my girlfriend for 2 and a bit years who has been the only person that ive ever talked to about my diatbeties. When trying to talk to others i just cant find the words.
But since splitting up a spent 13 weeks sleeping about 4-5 hours a night, witch mentaly and physicaly got to me . I was having some really down days. Earlyer in the year i worked in france for 6 weeks and the company went bank crupt leaving me in dept.
Last week i had a crash in my 4x4 (work vechical and personal) ive now got stitchs and memory loss, police said i was lucky to be alive.

I was really down and was about to overdose with my inserlin, i spoke to my x and wanted to see her, she now cant deal with it any more and has changed her number,i can still email but thats it.
I was so close to doing it. Since the crash though as i cant work for a bit ive been managing 13 hours + sleep a night and some how i dont feel sad any more. All my memorys seem distant and i cant remember alot of the past now.

I just hope i dont go back to how i was
 
You're in the right place, mate. people here will fal lover themselves to help you. 13hrs sleep a night must be like heaven after only getting 4 or 5 hrs in th epast!

Don't be afraid to ask questions...
 
Thank you, ive been meaning to post somthing for well over a year, when my x was trying to help me as well, but was just scared and didnt know what to say, as i said i couldnt find words, other than when talking to her.
But now im in my 2nd week off work its come into place

Thank you :D
