[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 1673934, member: 68789"] [USER=441787]@NoKindOfSusie[/USER], I got it at a similar age to you and believe me, we’re lucky not to have gone through puberty with T1! I wore a Medic-Alert bracelet for years but found the clasps were flaky. I now have an SOS which seems fine although I wish the logo were highlighted. I think the distress felt by anyone who ever needed to help me in an unconscious hypo would be lessened if they knew what they were dealing with! I also have ICE details on my phone. Luckily I’ve not yet needed either, and I let everyone I’m with know. If staying with friends I take a glucagon setup and show them how to use it. It’s only fair - to others as well as me. Why do you think you’re feeling so bad about T1? Do you want to start a separate thread about it? Is it the honeymoon roller-coaster? A changed sense of self? A misconception that because it’s called a disability you are now limited by it? Every time you post you sound as though there’s something you’re not letting on about that’s affected you. [/QUOTE]
