[QUOTE="starsandwishes123, post: 941382, member: 207041"] Please don't think you are alone as you really aren't.. Reading your story is like looking into the mirror for me as I've went through the exact same thing (I'm 24 and been diabetic since I was 12). Thankfully I've decided that after numerous hospital stays over the past few years and a recent scare with my eyes as a result of bad control that I can't not take control any longer! Over the last 2 months I've began to take control and I feel SO much better and become happier than I could ever imagine.. It has not been easy and I still struggle some days but I know you can do it too. Few words of advice, start by always doing your long acting insulin daily and testing your bloods when you do this and then gradually increase the number of times you test to 2 then 3/4 times a day as it helps to bring you back into a routine which seems to have been missing for you like it was for me. It'll also let your bloods begin to come down even just by a wee bit as if you go all out and try bringing your bloods down into normal range you'll feel just as rubbish as you do now believe it or not! If you can get ourself on a carb counting course then DO IT, wou won't regret it as it should take you right back to basics in managing your diabetes and help build your confidence :-) I know it'll all feel scary at first but there's so much of life you're missing out on by not controlling it, you're only young once and all that as they say haha! But yeah you're not alone and I believe in you, you can do it and we're all here every step of the way :-) sending you a big reassuring hug xxx [/QUOTE]
