[QUOTE="Soplewis12, post: 1369279, member: 71170"] I find being T1 quite lonely at times, it's not something that I want to talk about to others often but like other posts have said it would be nice if when you are frustrated with results or having a bad BG levels day that friends & family understood just how difficult it can be @ Times. I've also just went from an overactive thyroid to underactive which played havoc with lowering by blood glucose levels, hypoing up to 5 times a day until I eventually got my doses correct, but didn't want to admit that I was really struggling to my family & friends. I rarely moan about it & just get up & on with it but this means that my family can be quite blase about it. Had a terrifying hypo on December 31st, semi conscious but couldn't speak or move. I had Christmas burn out & had slept on & off most of the day. My husband's response to my son (when he raised the alarm) was well what does she expect if she sleeps all day! Probably can guess that I am still furious about this!!!!! But if I put it in context in 27 years of being T1 I have only ever needed support from others twice when in hypo. The forum is great for a good rant. X [/QUOTE]
