I got diagnosed with T1 in Feb 2010 and I must admit I have been rather useless at managing it. I am a 33 year old male living in the UK.
Because I don't feel any I'll effects in my body when my blood sugar is high I seem to always have a very high reading. Added to that my diet, being bought up a vegetarian is very carb heavy and I find it impossible not to eat what is bad for me. Finally I'm a smoker and am not sure what, beyond the obvious, this is doing to me as a diabetic...
All in all a but useless really but because no friends or family have it I haven't really spoken to anyone other than doctors and they can be a little pious at times!
Has anyone else had real issues coming to terms with Diabetes and then managing it on-going? Sorry to throw this out there but just wanted to talk to others who may have had issues!
