Hi all, im a newbie on this site.
I was diagnosed 15yrs ago with Type 1 when I was 7. Only found out I had it when I collapsed in a coma. Was only given a 50/50 chance of pulling thru. For the past few year I haven't really been taking care. A few weeks ago I was at the point were I couldn't care less about living. That changed last week when I was at work. I'm a 1st Aider and I got a call about a Diabetic who was having a serious Hypo. Ended up having to call an Ambulance. Really gave me a fright, all I could think on was that could have been me. I've seen that as a wake up call and have now started testing my blood around 8 times a day and I'm also going to start Carb Counting.
Sometimes you do just get sick of it but talk about it. I have 2 fantastic nurses that I can just drop in on in the mornings and talk about it and also my mum who has helped me alot.
