[QUOTE="Pneu, post: 151850, member: 28827"] Gracie, Firstly you are not alone and I guess a lot of people your age find themselves in a similar situation.. certainly when I was younger I did not get a **** about my diabetes and went for a long period without testing or taking insulin this lead to the inevitable and I spent a couple of days in A&E... I didn't learn from that mistake and two years later I ended up back in hospital for nearly a week after coming very close to not making it.. Unfortunately no one but [b]you[/b] can take ownership of your diabetes.. this is really rubbish and frustrating but its the unfortunate truth.. The best way to control your diabetes is to get help... talk to parents about how you feel as parents they will be there to support you and help you through the process... make an appointment with your GP / Diabetes Nurse and talk to them, they will be able to offer advice and strategies about how to cope.. trust me once you have got this in the open you will feel much better... I ignored my diabetes because I couldn't cope.. once I had support it was much easier to cope.. [/QUOTE]
