Relationship to Diabetes
Type 1
I have always wanted to talk to someone with diabetes i have a girl in my year but she do not care at all about her diabetes, literally every time i see her, she has something extremally high i sugar in her hand/mouth, and she thinks it's ok, and i juss want someone to talk to, because at the moment i have having quite a few hypo's which is quite baffaling to me and my mum, and people in my class thinks that i am pretending just to get out of class, so people are not being supotive towards me, even the teachers are not being supostive, e.g. ask one of my teachers if i can go to the first aiders, her said no your not allowed to! 😡 i just want someone to talk to, By the way im 14.
 
Hi, welcome to the forum 🙂 It can be very helpful to talk things through with others who have diabetes, as they can usually appreciate how things can affect you. It's a shame that the girl at your school doesn't want to, and that she does not appear to be taking her diabetes seriously, but this may just be her way of dealing with it at the moment, she may change in time. Your Mum should speak to the teachers so that the understand the importance of it when you ask to see the first aider - is it most of the teachers or just one or two?

We have quite a few people not much older than you who will be able to relate to what you are dealing with, so please ask any questions you may have 🙂
 
Thanks for replying to me, but yes it is most of my teachers who are not supportive, only 3 teachers are supportive towards me (not including the first aiders) and my mum have been to the school tooo many times for my diabetes, and we are just both fed up. *sigh* and At The Moment i am having other probz with my body i.e. breathing, exzema, etc and it tooo much to handle :'(

Sorry to hear that. :( If you are on Facebook, you might want to look at Diabetes UK's group for teens:

I have no idea if it's any good! 🙂
 
Hi SmartHappyAndDiagnosed,

I was once fourteen but unlike the years that have since gone under the bridge, I am still a type one diabetic. I was lucky and people really did support me when I was at school. If you want to talk to me I'm happy to give you my MSN/Facebook. By the way, I'm only nineteen!

Welcome to the forum from me too. 🙂

No MSN account for me I'm afraid, but you wouldn't want to talk to an old codger like me anyway (I'm a 46 year old duck, er, bloke)! :D

You will find lots of people to give you good advice here and I may chip in on the odd occasion too (but being Type 2, I'm not qualified to give much advice on Type 1 issues).

Andy 🙂

Hey,

I'll send you a PM with my MSN details on. I was diagnosed in 1996 at the age of five. It'll be fifteen years of diabetes next year and I've been on an insulin pump since April of this month. Feel free to ask anything.

Tom
