[QUOTE="Pinktongue, post: 1191853, member: 166490"] I have been type 1 diabetic for 11 years now since I was almost 13, I have always been well controlled with my diabetes but have slacked a bit this year due to working shift work and so my hba1c was slightly raised, still within normal limits but raised for me, and also my cholesterol was raised which was a shock to me as I am only 24 and a normal weight but I do have a bad diet. These results have gotten me so scared that I am going to get heart disease or that my kidneys are going to fail, every night I am convinced I am dying and that my heart will just stop beating. I really need some advice on how to lower my cholesterol and get my blood sugar in check as my doctor is not helpful and doesn't understand why I want to be referred to my local hospitals diabetic clinic. I am still on 2 injections a day and want to change to carb counting. I am constantly looking on google and seeing that I am 48% more likely to have heart disease than someone without diabetes and so I think well what's the point I'm going to die young and I'm terrified. I guess I'm look for some reassurance and support. Apologies if I sound self pitying I am just having a difficult time with anxiety about this right now I really don't want to die Sent from my iPhone using [url=https://siteowners.tapatalk.com/byo/displayAndDownloadByoApp?rid=67]DCUK Forum[/url] [/QUOTE]
