[QUOTE="vix107, post: 941332, member: 182555"] really on your own????? there are thousands of us out here!!!! ;) I used to be the same as you are at the moment ive now been type 1 for 26 years, its hard but then again its a lifestyle you cant escape unless your planning on dying, which will literally happen if you keep going this way, starting with organ failure etc etc sorry sounds like a lecture but im really trying to give you the bigger picture here!! it wont go away however much you want it to, we all want rid of the fecking disease but that's just life...... no-one said it was easy!! some of us have just been handed a rough end of the stick!! however diabetes doesn't stop you from living your life, yes you have to moderate some things and yes you have to do some unpleasant things like sugar testing and injections but I tell you what id much rather have this than a lot of other things!! really though your defo not alone, but if you feel like it it's gonna make things much harder for you, even coming on here and posting is a step toward a tonne of support!! im looking at the start of a poorly functioning kidney because of the abuse I gave my body through my diabetes for so many years it really can get very serious!! to me having been in your shoes for a chunk of my life I can only hope you read and listen to the advice people are giving you on here and from a personal point of view these would be my tips to you....... 1. take a step back in your mind and realise diabetes does not have to be an enemy... you can work in harmony 2. you do have to go the extra mile to take care of yourself 3. with your current readings you are either injecting in the wrong places or have no idea what your insulin to carbs ratio is 4. it would hugely benefit you to see a specialist and be referred to do a carb counting course 5. your gp surgery will most likely either hold diabetic support meetings or know where the closest one is held 6. have a flipping massive moan as often as you like even the small things can rile me up, venting does help mentally even if not physically if I can do it so can you!!! good luck :) [/QUOTE]
