"Hi Nat. To your response from Thursday.... I just know I have to to survive.... I am used to jumping in head first into things in life. I have to really watch out for myself because when I was diagnosed a few months back, I was disowned from my…"
nat commented on Shanon's blog post 'Doing ok'"hey shanon Im looking for some advice, i have been depressed and all that recently.. i have pulled myself out of it somehow..
Now i just need some answer.. how do you learn to live with diabetes??"
"Yeah the equivalent to the A&E is the emergency department here in the UK. Thanks I'm really trying - just got to remember all my misktakes... got to get back up"
acidrock23 commented on Shanon's blog post 'Doing ok'"I've ended up in the emergency room (is that what A&E is?) on several occasions over the years and it' certainly no fun. Having a great schedule is a big help and it sounds like you have a great attitude! Keep it (the attitude!) up!"
Doing ok
After several weeks... I find that even with a deep depression and anxiety, I seem to be doing ok. I have found out a great schedule as far as checking my blood, ect. I have sadly ended up in the A&E and had a hospital stay once due to a miscalculation or a time that I was just plain ole dumb. I've been to an Endocrinologist... but it was just a visit of confusion.... which I am still hoping to get cleared up.. who knows.

So my GP appointment was yesterday. My GP answered alot of my questions, and drew some blood. I'm scheduled to see an Endocrinologist in a few weeks, so that is going to be interesting. But, all in all, I do feel somewhat better about this journey now that I've taken the first several steps so to speak. Sadly, my GP told me that I shall need a Program change at school, as what I'm taking classes for (Paramedic), does not allow an insulin dependent diabetic to partake in the career. Overall,…
