type one diabetes

[Robyn <3]

I'm new to this site.. just wondered if anybody finds type 1 diabetes hard to control sometimes? like it controls your life because of the amount of testing and injections you have to do.. x🙄

Hi Robyn

Welcome to the forum! 🙂 i think we all have days/weeks of finding it hard to deal with D. but there are good days! which insulins are you currently on? how long have you been diagnosed?

this forum is a great support so hopefully it helps you too

Hey, your damn right I find it hard to control and thats most of the time..........I dont let it control my life though, or at least it doesnt feel like that as I dont mind testing and injecting, maybe I am just used to it by now....🙂

Hey Robyn, welcome to the site. Yep it can feel like that sometimes - but there are ways you can 'take back' those feelings 🙂

It does get easier in time Robyn and the sooner you learn how to carb count your food the better it will be, the injections are daunting at first but in time they will become so routine that they will become very much a part of eating as washing your hands. Stick with it and take on board any advice that is given to you by your health care team.

I feel the same as you do, its complete and utter poo at sometimes, but its the type of thing you just have to try and get on with.

Hope everythings okay

Hi Robyn and welcome to the forum.

I've had it for 28 years and I can still get it monumentally wrong. That's where a support forum, such as this, comes in - you can compare experiences with others as well as getting links to lots of useful info.

Testing and more testing is the key, provided that you examine the results logically and (perhaps more importantly) honestly. Having said that, don't be too dismayed when there is no apparent explanation for an unexpected result: sometimes, D is just like that!

(apologies to the T2's who struggle to get testing stuff - my sympathies are with you on this)
