[QUOTE="kyoung09, post: 79981, member: 20271"] i got diagnosed at 16 and had it for a year :-) i felt sad because i thought id be treated differently or no one would want me around because i was hassle? but not at all. levemir and novorapid lets me control it so discretely and easily and to be honest im proud of it? Hate it when people feel sorry for me because it doesnt hurt? yeah i have my down days especially at first as i just thought grrr? so annoying? but.. it does get better. youve probably seen people with bad things mostly old, as they didnt have the technology and help we had today? people scared me with legs falling off and what not but my dad had cancer and he lost his leg at 21 so to be honest, just whatever. lol! obviously you need to adjust but i love life and am going uni in september. people who end up in hospital dont care for themselves properly or maybe just dont realise when they hve hypos. there are lots of symptoms but you can get dogs which can smell when your sugar is low?! just buy one and its an excuse to have a dog eh?! honestly, it wil get better and im self conscious and young so if it was really bad i wouldn't lie. talk to me if you need to. xx [/QUOTE]
