Hello , my name is calum and I'm 17 years old.
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 6. Recently iv been having a lot of bother with my diabetes , my control has been teriable. My HB1C on December 2009 was 14.7 , iv now got it down to 8.2. About November last year I started showing signs of "Diabets eye disease" . I get counselling related to my diabetes every 2 weeks. I really struggle with my diabetes , im on the insulin regime where I inject every time I eat and have a long acting insulin injection when I wake up and before bed. My family friends and girlfriend all help me when I get down or upset with my diabetes (which I do very often!) but I understand that they dont really now how I feel or what I'm going through , which is why I decided to join here and hopefully find ways to help me and hopefully I will help others.
I didn't quite know what to put so sorry if iv rambled on a bit :lol:
