I am a 20 year old type one diabetic. I have been dealing with this disease for over half my life. When I was younger my doctors called me the poster chil for diabetes because I was always on track. Since about age 17 I began to loose control of my diabetes. Forgetting to take insulin, refusing to test my blood sugar and for some reason I have not been able to get out of this phase. Ive seen doctors and councilors but nothin really seems to help. This problem has landed me in the hospital on many occasions. I think that a big problem for me is that ive never really known any other diabetic, someone to relate to. So Im trying to make a change and be the diabetic I know I can be. So if anyone has some advice or some helpful tricks youve use and are willing to share. I think it would be very helpful to talk to a mote experienced diabetic. Thanks all!
