Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dark_Progress19" data-source="post: 2493049" data-attributes="member: 553284">I was 3 years old When I was diagnosed with type one diabetes and I’ve had it for 17 years now I’m 20 live in the life that a normal person would have but still with Diabetes still battling it but when I first started out I was on injections at first. At first I was terrified because I didn’t really understand the whole situation was, I didn’t know what Diabetes was.When I three years old are used to run away from my mum when she used to try and check my blood sugar and inject me with Nova rapid and Lantus solo star but now I’ve been on the Omnipod since I was 12 years old. That’s helped me so much over the years, plus I’ve also got the G6 sensor that can also check your blood without checking your blood with needles but also the NHS Diabetes team can also look at my blood sugar’s how it’s been over the months and week, even days and that keeps the NHS an estimated result of my HB1C (as I call it) Yes it’s scary growing up with the hypos and the hypers and keytones, but also I’m the only one in my family with type 1 diabetes no one else has this so I’m scared of worrying my family. I hope your little one gets the Omnipod when they’re older trust me it is amazing also if you would like their number it’s 08000116132 the diabetes teams have leaflets about it and how it works same with the Dexcom G6 where you can just look at your blood sugar from your phone or tablet.I hope this information will be of some help for future help.
