As can't cope with this much longer it's changed my life in bad way their has Been so many promises they close to cure what never happens
Been reading post few days I'm Just struggling with it in mind and going through it on own as family and friends say my fault I have it and worse thing is they saying il be dead by Christmas due to it so scared to sleep in case level drops to low plus nerve damage bad in feet ain't helping.
I feel the same at times. I was told a few days ago that I am type 1. This is after being on type 2 meds for three weeks. I am current waiting for a hospital appointment and It's a worry as I feel like a ticking time bomb.As can't cope with this much longer it's changed my life in bad way their has Been so many promises they close to cure what never happens
That would be an amazing drug if they can get it working.Hello @Curemytype1, Diabetes does change your life but you will learn to live with it and adapt. Don't despair, although there is no miracle cure yet there is hope to make the condition more manageable. JDRF are working on a smart insulin that when taken, which could be in the form of a pill, activates the insulin when the body needs it giving better control. It's early stages yet but promising. I donate to them each month so they can progress with their research. Have a read here >>>

Don't il see a cure thoType 1 is an auto immune condition - so it's not your fault you got it.
If you tell us a little more about your insulin regime and the lows, then that might help.
Do you have the book Think Like A Pancreas? It's excellent for Type 1.
And yes, I think there will be a cure for Type 1
I'm just finding it hard deal with feeling wise and what friends family have said about my fault I have it and il be dead by Christmas ain't helped now they have all abandoned me so now alone trying cope.and as say above scared sleep now incase level drop to low and I don't wake
