Hi everyone . I have been reading this forum for a while now and have finally decided to join .
So here it goes .

My name is Cloe , I have type 1 diabetes , I am 22 years old . I live in the uk .
I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 7 . So have had it for 15 years now .
I am currently on multiple daily injections . Taking lantus and novo rapid .
My hba1c reading I just received is 6.7 % or 50 mol . So I am pretty pleased with that . Have my clinic appointment tomorrow .
Ratios are always changing .
fount it hard when I was first diagnosed , wouldn't of been able to do it all without the support from my family which I still get now and from my loving fiancé . Also from my diabetic nurse who I worked very closely with. But I'm pretty happy with the way things are going since I've got that little bit older . Sounds strange but I don't actually mind being a diabetic . I think why let it bother you , I can't change it .

So anyway here I am , thought it would be great to talk and listen to others experiences .

Thanku for your nice comments, means a lot .
I've just read what you have written under your comment ( not sure what that parts called lol ) .
But have my fingers crossed for you , for your next hba1c , you done really well with how you've lowered it from a 12% .
Good luck
 
Thanks Chloe. I'm looking forward to my appointment as I know my numbers should be down due to my recent weight loss and low carb eating. I usually dread my hospital appointments as I know I've not been good. But this time it should be an improvement.

Sounds like your doing amazingly well especially with the weight loss , that's so hard to loose !
You will have to let me know how your next appointment goes , and what your hba1c is .
