I have been type 1 for 12 years and have never had any sort of stable control ! Ive been in and out if hospital where to docs and nurses have controled everything i eat and drink and giving all insulin injections ! and still they cant get it right . They just sent me home in the end , ive been lucky so far hypos always wake me up if im asleep and can always fell them coming on i still find it hard to limit food intake for hypos as i have 2 small children and just want it over asap so end up eating way to many biscuts of jam butties !! Im starting to get symptoms of poor control ( awfull red rash on leg which has been spreding for 2 years from pea size to about 10cms my eyes arnt the best anymore and im snappy and depressed ) im very scared of what my future holds ! My partner has just been diagnosed type 2 so know im extreamly worried about children and if they are going to get it thay are very active and sugar intake is at a minimum neither me or my partner are over weight just bad luck i guess
