I have been type 1 for just over nine months, and I reckon it will always be a pain!

I've had it since I was 4 and now 45, better nowadays with fine needles, my parents we're always worried with me having bruises from the old glass syringes and nail needles.

Hi I've had it 44 years and it does bring it difficulties. You do get fed up with it but you know that will turn around . Keep strong and positive and allow yourself some off times but not too much
