hello people i have decided to be a member of this forum it looks good :D and pretty easy to operate! lol hope to meet some nice peoples on here i know people do... i am a type one diabetic 😛 ok bye for now
 
Hi Kate and a warm welcome to the forum how long have you been diagnosed and what insulin regime are you on x
 
hey there i was diagnosed early 2010 i inject four times a day - breakfast lunch dinner and bedtime
 
Hi kate, welcome to the forum 🙂 How have things been for you since you were diagnosed, do you manage to control things well? If you have any questions people are always happy to help. You might be interested in getting a support and information pack for people with a recent diagnosis of type 1 diabetes from JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) - all free! There's also a children's version - you can decide which you are! 🙂
 
yeah my diabetic team are great, i include my mum in that she is very helpful 🙂 she gets involved with all the carb counting and ratios- i think she likes working it out really
 
Welcome to the forum Kate 🙂
 
thanks i have already got both packs! they were very useful and in one (kids one i think) you get a cute teddy with a JDRF jumper on it😛

How old are you if you dont mind me asking? its great to hear your mum has such a proactive role in your diabetes,its always good to have a good care network around you cause sometimes things can get tough x
 
i think i control things quite well with the help of my mum dad and diabetic team.. bit hard to cope with sometimes but i think lots of people have bad days where they dont want diabetes? 🙂
 
Hi Kate -- love the avatar by the way! 🙂 You will find this a helpful and welcoming forum.

I don't know if you're the youngest member here (Alan, aka Northerner, would probably know) but there's at least one other member about your age.

And if you haven't already, you might like to also sign up for The Insulin Gang -- a forum specifically for children/adolescents with Type 1, created by a remarkable (and very cute) 9 year old girl called Cerys Anne Blake.
 
thanks!😛 it looks helpful here! and thanks for the link - i was looking for forums for people my age but couldn't find one:/ i do like it here though 🙂

Hello Kate,
welcome to the forum. Is this part of school life posting in school time lol? :D
 
You sound very much like someone I know...

If you are not that person then I might have to introduce you:D
 
Lol really 😛 i dunno what you mean.. your daughter? so that probably means you will have to introduce me :D
 
I'm sorry I must have been mistaken - you are very similar - tho her name is not Kate of course.

Hope you find the forum useful x
 
Welcome to the forum Kate 🙂 x
 
Welcome Kate. Its good to hear that you appreciate your Mum and Dad's help. If you don't tell them this - then they may appreciate you telling them - particularly when you all have difficult days.
 
Hi Kate and welcome to the forum.

I see you're 13. I have a daughter very similar age to you. Her name is Carol and she is almost 15. She's registered on here too. But she very rarely comes on here.🙂 I guess she doesn't want to read what I write about her on here 😉
