[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 88625, member: 7788"] Please don't apologise for 'going on'- that's what this forums for. You've been very unfortunate to be diagnosed with it so young, and it's difficult to get your head around coping with life and illness.I got very depressed when I was diagnosed and saw myself as being blind and legless by the time I was 40. Had my 40th recently, did get legless! I also used to think I had the most unsociable condition, people look at you like your a freak when you prick your finger or take injection. As you get older and hang about with adults that reaction hopefully will lessen. Once you get better cotrol and mangement of your blood sugars and general health, you'll feel better equipped to cope with the other stuff. People who don't have diabetes or don't know people with it , don't understand the reality of living with it. If someone's diagnosed diabetic in a telly programme, theres a huge drama when they're diagnosed and you never hear about it again! We, on this forum DO know what it's like and the reason a lot of us post here is because we do care, and hope that telling our experience may help someone else. So keep posting and as Jen says vent as much as you like! :) Jus [/QUOTE]
