[QUOTE="rubyking, post: 1299181, member: 351562"] Hello, in January 2015 I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It was a complete shock considering I was 19 years old. The whole issue has turned my life on its head to say the least. Even to this day I struggle to come to terms with the illness and to say I cope would be an utter lie. Somehow I seem to stay breathing, however my management is appalling. I will be the first to admit I miss injections and don't test my blood, not to mention my careless diet. This however is not because of my stubborn nature but purely because of my needle phobia. Even having to look at my insulin pens causes me great distress. It is a major concern to both me and my family. I understand there are other options such as the pump, this is something that I temporarily tried and tested to no avail. Is there anyone who could perhaps offer some advice? Any knowledge or suggestions are welcome and would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
