[QUOTE="Pepe1895, post: 1476359, member: 272531"] Hi I'm 21 years old and have been a type 1 diabetic since I was 11. I struggle so much with my diabetes and have never been able to come to grips with the fact this is my way of living if I want to live a healthy life. I've come to the point where monitoring my blood glucose levels is scary as I don't want to see the result. I'm so ashamed of how I treat my body that Im too embarrassed to go and see doctors now. I've tried living a normal life, by working, keeping a social life and traveling but nothing ever makes me want to take my diabetes seriously. It's like my brain shuts off until I feel unwell and I know I have to take some insulin. But that's about as good as my control of my diabetes gets. I know I am depressed and that could be a reason for this. Im not wanting sympathy im just purely asking for any type of advice from people who may also understand what I'm going through as I want to live my life to the best I can for as long as I can [/QUOTE]
