This is going to be one of those long threads, so brace yourselves...

First, a little about me.

So, I have suffered from Type 1 Diabetes for the best part of my life.

At the age of 6, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Which meant that my childhood suffered, as I had to grow up coming to terms with this disease. People would always look at me and say 'But you can't have diabetes, you're skinny?!' which would always make me feel like I had done something terribly wrong,  to be given such a burden.

It took a long time for me to realize that just because peoples perception on Diabetes wasn't right, I hadn't done anything to deserve it. But I still had doctors and my parents telling me that I can't do this, or I can't do that. It frustrated me so much.

By the age of 13, I started to go 'off the rails' with my Diabetes control, and it came back to haunt me. After several admissions to Hospitals from Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), I was told that if I didn't get serious control over my diabetes, I could end up loosing my legs, vision, or worse, Death...

I still however, took no notice of all this advice I was given, and throughout my final year in school, I got sicker, and sicker. To the point where I ended up spending a whole week in Intensive Care, the day after I finished my final Examination. With an Insulin Pump and Fluids connected to both of my arms, and feeding tubes through my nose. I was left in a coma unable to control anything. This STILL didn't make me do anything to change my life.

I'm now 23 years old, with Nerve Damage (Neuropathy) to my legs, and feet, as well as slight problems with my eyes. As well as other complications, all down to the fact that for several years, I skipped taking my dose of insulin on occasion, I ate more than I was Injecting for (when I did inject) and I drank, as well as Smoked.

After spending a week on a DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating) Course, I now understand fully how to take my insulin for what I am eating, doing, and drinking. What effects different factors have on my Diabetes, and how I can now adjust my diabetes around my life, not the other way around.

I feel much more in control of my own life, and feel that I am able to do things I was always told as a child, I'd never be able to do, because of my diabetes.

On top of all that, I have also learned that the Nerve Damage, caused from the poor control, is repairable, as are the other complications. Which makes me feel so much better in general. Yes, it might get worse before it gets better, but in the long run, providing I can keep it all up, I'll be feeling much more better as a person, within the next Year or Two.



But how much does the world know about diabetes, the general population of people who suffer from Diabetes, only suffer from Type 2. Which is what people mistake things for...

So, to break it down. Type 1 Diabetes is usually found in People under the age of 40. They don't have to be overweight, and it can be from a number of factors, be it Hereditary, or from sickness. Type 2 Diabetes, on the other hand, is genuinely found in the elderly, or people who are Overweight.

What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?
Type 1 Diabetes, is when the Pancreas does NOT produce any insulin. Therefore Insulin needs to be administered on a regular basis.
Type 2 Diabetes, is when the Pancreas produces Insulin, but the body is resisting some of it, this can be handled with Tablets, Insulin, or simply Diet and Exercise.

Is there a Cure for Diabetes?
To put it simply... No there isn't.
But, scientists and Doctors, are trying to produce artificial Pancreas's which will then produce insulin, however even in a transplant, people may still get diabetes again.

My little sister actually has type 1 diabetes, so it's been an adventure for all of us, learning about how to take care of her for the past couple years. It always frustrates me when people talk about diabetes, how they always assume it's type 2, and they don't even know the other even exists. It can get very frustrating.

i have something that can help ?you but the question is, is it to late but if your interested contact me with your skype or i'll send you mines haunter.y?

No, I have never suffered from Diabetes I know that they said Type 1 is worse though. I'm sorry you had to go through so much suffering with this. My grandmother has Type 2 Diabetes she has to take to inslin shots twice daily.. and she still pops cokes and eats candy bars constantly. I worry about her.. but there is nothing I can do except pray.
