Hey there! I was diagnosed around the same time as you 🙂! I'm 19 now so I was just a year older than you! Guessing you was in the first year of GCSE's when diagnosed? Must of been difficult, mine was during exams but at least I didn't have to put up with being in school with it too often 🙂 I'm greatful I didn't have to ever put up with it whilst being in school.

As for the emotional thing, i'm totally the same, most of the time I just get on with it. I certainly did in the first place! Then I had absolutely no choice. Now its more complicated since i'm not your ordinary diabetic ppft, and thats what gets me down much more now. I don't know if you've heard of tumblr? Its a blogging website, but recently i've found a lot of diabetics and its really supportive community and also even just to spill your thoughts, like writing a diary but more public.

I'd be happy to help you out if you want to messsage me 🙂
 
Welcome Antonia, you will get bags of support here. You've come to the right place.

Try not to worry (easier said than done), hope your visit to the consultant was too bad?

Donna 🙂
