[QUOTE="azure, post: 1443454, member: 39639"] [USER=144444]@nessa1970[/USER] When I was diagnosed with Type 1, my BS was 25. My doctor phoned an ambulance and I was admitted to hospital immediately. That's how urgently he treated a high BS. I tried to delay and said I didn't feel too bad but In actual fact I was very ill. And so are you... A blood sugar that reads HI will be causing damage to your body - even though you can't feel or see it. Around half the people registered blind have lost their sight because of diabetes; in the UK, more than 20 people a day have their leg amputated because of diabetes. It's more than possible that none of those people ever had DKA. But yet the diabetes still hurt them... You're playing with fire and thinking you won't get burnt, but what you don't seem to realise is the fire is sneaking up behind you. You can't ignore it. PLEASE take your insulin, speak to your DSN - and get the psychological support you need. Yes, Type 1 is c**p. Yes, it would be lovely not to have to think about carb counting and all those incredibly annoying things we have to do every day. But we're LUCKY. Before the discovery of insulin, Type 1 was a terminal illness. Now it's not. I remember that every time I get fed up with the daily grind. [/QUOTE]
