karenpat replied to Megasaurus_Rex's discussion 'a cry for help'"I'm one of many people (including several who already posted) who can relate to your story... I used to deal with lows just fine but then in October last year I took just one unit extra of bolus (because my blood sugar was on the high side and…"
cat replied to Megasaurus_Rex's discussion 'a cry for help'"i relate to this so much. I let my sugars run higher than they should because of fear of lows. I've attributed it to a fear of having to ask for help, a fear of having needs, especially more and different needs than others. I bail on social…"
Jenn replied to Megasaurus_Rex's discussion 'a cry for help'"Don't worry, girl. Everyone's afraid when they start college with diabetes. I'm a junior now so I have a few semesters under my belt. It's scary but you've got to keep your head up and not let it get the best of you.

artistetes replied to Megasaurus_Rex's discussion 'a cry for help'"Hello,
Yes I believe there is hope for you. I used to be afraid of going low all the time so I would also allow my blood sugars to run high. When I was in college the first time I would beg out of activities or not do things with other people…"

Jessica Edelman said… - Hey, just read your forum post on herb and T1. I can honestly say I smoke everyday, multiple times a day and I'm T1 also. It doesn't affect me one bit in the diabetes department. If I get the munches I grab an apple or fresh veggies to munch on, cucumber, cheeses..etc.
If you have any questions please get ahold of me. I don't like all the judging that's going on after your post. I'm all ears over here Amiga!
