Oooh nice, I know a few who went there. There's also a diabetic there I know. Good to see someone doing languages. I'm half French which made a French degree redundant! Eurgh student finance. Get it done soonest! Some of my flatmates in halls had real nightmares with it. I hope you get the grades! Just out of curiosity, where are you in the world? I'm sure you'll find some diabetics at uni, I've got two in my block of flats I can always chat to.

Hi Persil,
I was diagnosed with T1 in February and am on 4 injections a day (basal/bolus regime). I've just been on a carb counting course last week at the hospital and found it to be a revelation - so helpful, as I had been having regular hypos, due to too much insulin to the amount of carb in what I eat. My understanding of my diabetes has improved loads over the last week alone and I am about to email my dietician to thank him!!! He's great!
Get yourself booked onto a course or in with your dietician asap, and all should become clear.........!
As everyone says, no question is a silly one, so ask away - I did!
 
Hi Vicki!

Welcome!

I've been type one for a year now.... what to say...

Test a lot, ask your doctors/nurses questions if you don't understand, don't be afraid to do anything because you're diabetic. There's very little actually out of bounds to you.

Ah Kent, I'm in East Sussex myself. Eastbourne at the moment and in term time I'm in Brighton! Not much of a move but hey, it keeps me happy. Thanks for reminding me, I've got to reapply for a student loan again soon. Must get it done...
