Hello all,
I'm currently studying child nursing at university and have a group assignment to do based on a particular health issue and the biological, psychological, sociological and the social policy associated with it. The health issue we have chosen to focus on is diabetes, and the section i am doing is the psychological part. I am 20 years old and have had type 1 diabetes since i was 10, so it is something i am very interested in.
The question i am asking is: What psychological impact do you feel being diagnosed diabetic had on your life? for you, your friends, your family? How did the diagnosis make you feel? the lifestyle change and living with it in general?
It would be a great help if i could get some replies to this to use in my part of the presentation. Also, knowing your age and how long you have had diabetes may be useful, but i understand if you would rather not put it. I will only mention the name of the forum site, and not any usernames of the responses provided.
Thank you for your help,
Jessica
