Im 19, been diabetic since 13 (type 1)
At the start I controlled it reasonably well (about 18 months), but since I have had so many problems!. At the moment...
1) I miss insulin dosages
2) Dont check my blood sugar levels (not done for 6 months)
3) Dont have a good diet, eat sweets choc and drinks
4) Drink loads of alchol on a regular night out (5 pints, vodka, coke) (once a week'ish)
5) My HPAC1 (or whatever its called lol) is around 12 every time its checked
I have had this feeling from when I was diagnosed that one day when I grow up that I would have everything under control (by 18 yrs age?) but I really dont look after myself well enough. I cant cope with being diabetic so I basically pretend im not and live like anyone else. I cant find the motivation to control it and stand up to being diabetic. I need help, any suggestions?
