I was 20 when diagnosed and am 21 now, so I've had just over a year with it.
I was in shock for a few weeks afterwards but then everything started sinking in. I got upset at the thought of 4 injections a day for the rest of my life but I'm pretty much used to it now. Obviously have bad days where I get very frustrated but hopefully that'll get better in time x
I was 21 when i was diagnosed and am now 22 will be my 1 year anniversary in february! if u want to talk to someone of similar age feel free to pm me or add me on the facebook if u have it 🙂
This forum was a godsend to me after my difficult diagnosis im glad you have now found us! x
I find it easier dealing with it, but at the moment i am having difficulty getting it to what it should be.
I know the reasons why and what to do, its just the will power to do it i am lacking.
How are you finding it, what medication are you on?
Thanks DG, think I'm following you on blogspot! 🙂 I was going to pick human pin cushion too!!
I'm on multiple injections of NovoRapid and Lantus too Estella. At the minute I'm getting 6-10 from lunch onwards but am getting higher readings in the morning =/
