Hi just been diagnosed with type 1. Since 1987 had chronic brittle asthma and was in and out of hospital. Got asthma under control and then I get a brain tumour in 2006. That was all sorted and then 3 years later diagnosed with type 2 until a fortnight ago.
I am totally gutted I have to do all these injections at 53 years old. 4 injections, Novorapid and Levemir, also kept on 4 x metformin.
I have been fighting ill health for many years and now I just don't have the motivation to do it!!! I'm totally worn out fighting. It has made me feel very depressed. All the new information is overwhelming I don't want to gain weight, that is another problem I fear. I just don't want to do this and I feel I just cannot get a break from ill health. I have two sisters who have no illnesses.
