yeah, i found it from there too.
i was diagnosed type one last may with the usual sypmtoms.my gp was surprised that id made my own way there when the tests showed i had ketones and that my glucose was almost 30.i should have realised it was a bit serious when i didnt have to wait to be seen at the hospital,though it was a bit of a surprise when i was told i had type 1 and would have to take insulin. i was quite chilled about it, i think cos my dad had type 1 and i was used to injecting him with syringes...until the week after getting out of hospital and i started having a hypo and couldnt test my blood as i was shaking to much.
i take humalog at meal times and glargine at night, and am relieved that i use a pen and not syringes.

i use the autopen too. i think the only embarrassing moment i had was a month after being diagnosed. i went to a festival and on the way in security felt my bagand felt the soft case of the glargine and the hard case of the humalog and having to explain what it was.
saying that i dont go and hide away to take it, my friends and people at work are fine about it. though it wouldnt bother me if it did.

Hi
I've just posted a reply to mattr on this page you may want to read, re getting a letter from the diabetis clinicians advising I need to carry sharps etc. I need it for flying, but never thought about other security situations. Must remember to put a copy in my daily necessities box, cheers you've helped me already!
