Hi, I am currently 16 and have had Type One Diabetes since I was 3. Ever since going to high school I have struggled immensely with my control. My HbA1c is never within target range and I feel like I am constantly getting a row from either my parents or the hospital staff. I find it difficult to find the motivation to continuously inject myself, especially during school hours, and check my blood sugars. I know the importance of this but I just want to be a 'normal' teenager and not have this burden on my shoulders. I am just wondering if anyone else has the same problem or feels the same way I feel. I would love it if I could have someone to chat to my feelings about because my friends don't really understand it all. Feel free to message me, thank you
