[QUOTE="phdiabetic, post: 1752216, member: 317494"] Hi from another uni student! (Postgrad here!) As well as posting on the forum (a great place to hang out with other diabetics), consider looking for local support groups. You may benefit from spending some time with other T1s in real life, especially if they are close to your age. I was diagnosed at similar age, I do most of my care on my own but my mum has a very good understanding of diabetes (due to her I was diagnosed quickly and didn't even go to hospital). My parents mainly do things like bring juice/sit with me if I am low. Could you ask your parents or friends to sit down with you for a couple of minutes to support you during hypos? They don't have to do anything, just sit nearby so you know you're not alone. Do you have a fulfilling life outside of diabetes? How are you doing in uni? Do you have hobbies and interests? [/QUOTE]
