Our Trust is hosting one of two NHS England pilot projects looking at how to treat type 1 diabetes patients whose chronic illness affects their mental health.
This is what people don’t understand - the 24/7 mental pressure. They think the injecting is the hard part because of needles. Ha, that’s so easy, it’s the constant guilt and anxiety and need to keep on top of everything and constantly not feeling quite right but not exactly ill which is the hard part. No one asks how you’re doing with it because they don’t get it. Completely on my own with this, have been for 15 years and always will be. Not being a victim, 75% it’s fine and you get used to it. But it’s tiring and wears you down and just nice to see this acknowledged when usually invisible to others.
100% agree. If it was "just" injections that would be manageable. It's the fact the tiniest thing has the potential to rapidly change your blood sugar level and the fear of complications down the line.
I totally agree , Your Life is ruled by the Foods You can and cannot eat ,stress ,for example when My Son or Anyone comes to visit or when I go out somewhere ,I have to eat !!!! I can no longer exercise by having a brisk walk as advised because I am crippled with Arthritis and pain ,tired all the time ,I have every sympathy with Everyone Who has repled and Black Cat and Others describe the effects much better than I but It really rules Your Life especially when You have led such an active varied Life before Diabetes ,but I have been sent a Link to BBC Scotland this Morning which gives some hope of relief ,take a look and see if It gives You at least hope for a better Life with Diabetes?
100% feel this. The guilt of seeing your readings in the 300’s for 2 weeks straight when you just keep injecting more & more & for what? Waking up with blurry vision & fiending for sugar like an addict to heroine when you finally get back to the “normal BS” range. Sometimes I just wanna die & get a new meat suit already.
Yeah, most people think that the hard part is all the injections and blood tests but it’s not, once u get used to the feeling of injections everyday it’s fine, sometimes it hurts a bit and bleeds but u get over it, luckily since I’m not older I don’t really do any of the working out of anything so that my bloods stay okay, but yeah I would agree with the first half since I don’t really relate as much to the rest
The fatigue and exhaustion physically and mentally is what drives me crazy. I have no desire to work anymore which sucks because people think I'm lazy which I'm not. I love to work but it's not easy with this bullshit of T1D
I was diagnosed at 13, I'm now 28 and I can tell you that feeling exhausted constantly is putting it mildly. I find it hard to focus on or remember anything, eating is a hassle, exercise feels impossible, sleep schedule is never consistent and maintaining relationships can be a chore. You try to do everything right and nothing seems to stick. I'm not necessarily aiming for perfection but I'd just like to find a routine that works so I can get on with living a normal life.
I feel u. It’s constant stress and I am constantly overthinking about everything. It’s a full time job, along with school it’s almost impossible to stay sane. Sometimes you just don’t want to eat and it’s terrible.
It's fcking me up massively. I just got into the biggest fight about it with my super asshole dad who is the complete opposite of empathatic. He's the worst & will never understand my suffering with this disease. He says I pity myself too much when I was venting to my mum about how extra hard it's been lately with this disease & how its really been taking a toll on my mental health. Not many people truly understand just how EXHAUSTING and GRUELING DEALING WITH THIS IS. I've had it for 10 years now almost 11 years this July. I got diagnosed at the tender age of 13. I was just a child. I haven't been the same since. I'm so so so sorry to all of you who have to deal with this. Hopefully, there can be a cure someday.
Having Type 1 and Depression is one of the worst combinations. Because you have access to things that you can kill yourself with. And some days, I wish I would just get into DKA and just f*cking die, because being stressed out of my health is so mentally draining. And losing basically half of my life doesn't make it any better. I wish I never got this disease.
Now I'm 24. My type 1 diabetes started when I was 11. I wonder. Some people says that maybe because my mother didn't natural breast feed me, maybe that's why I got diabetes. Did you breast feed your daughter??
We need and deserve a cure 15 years I've suffered from this horrible disease hopeful for a cure in the next 10 years else i don't see much point in living like this it's no way to live
When I was diagnose with Type one diabetes all my mother ever said was stop feeling sorry for yourself & she's glad she never had it because she's like sugar in her tea. I have Type one my dad as Type two I think unlike these people I just ignored diabetes never put Focus on Diabetes still took my insulin never reticulate cared about numbers. Them 2014 my dad got blind he as Type two & he was the wake up call I needed as sad as it is for him I did need that final wake up call xx Good luck to everyone with diabetes remember your not alone
Been type 1 diabetic since 1997. Just eat a healthy ish diet with the odd treat. Have never become a slave to it or rule my life. Still in good health with no complications. I was 22 when I was diagnosed. The only thing that gets to me is the lethargy. Can be fine one day then feel drained the next.
I have had diabetes since I was 6 years old, but when I was in the hospital, I saw a baby who was not even a year old, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, his poor mother was mentally exhausted, the tiny baby body was almost disfigured by constant measurements and injections. What was the children's fault? It pains me so much to see these little ones who have never seen any other life but pain and suffering
I’ve had type 1 d since 2009, through most of that time I’ve continued to work quite a physical outdoor job. The effects of diabetes and the depression that has come with it feel like they’re slowly wearing me down. I feel very much on my own with managing the mental aspects of it. I get the impression most people do not grasp the mental impact and think if you have days off you’re either being lazy or it’s your fault due to poor management.
I was diagnosed with type 1 in 2016 at age 29. At the time I was teaching and finishing a PhD, so I had presumed I was "just stressed" until I got the diagnosis. I echo what everyone has said with regards to it wearing them down, and I thank them all for sharing their stories. In addition to the mental health issues that don't get enough attention, I also believe that not enough is said about it's impact on sleep habits: it has given me terrible insomnia that I'm still in the process of dealing with.
Neil that is true if you have a high blood sugar at night and you give yourself quick acting insulin it will make you have a little bit of a drop which will cause I believe a little bit of adrenaline that will keep you up
And old friend with this is struggling a lot with their mental health I hope he can find the help he needs. He is hurting other people right now who don't deserve it and just love him and are just trying to understand why
I have diabetes tipe1 nearly 2years and I struggle a lot 😪 Sometimes just want to give up My mental health go up and down, I had meltdowns in silence, cos I don't want to talk about it with nobody 😔 Workouts help me feel better and kids keep me motivate for keep going
I’m 28, now partially sighted because I got my blood sugars in control 4 years ago. I’m fed up and it never stops, there’s no day off. But just got to get on with it and try not to let it rule my day. I tend to just go on auto pilot now
@carebear09 White there are people working on the cure who’s children have type 1 diabetes and the have it there selves there surely not going to turn a blind eye and say nothing if the see that a cure is ready and there not being allowed produce it like

Because the cost of making and selling insulin and other diabetic supplies like needles, test strips, etc is too profitable for pharmaceutical companies to just have disappear. I'm a type 1 btw and I know that pharmas are not interested in cures because in my lifetime they've stopped making some of the cheaper, less profitable insulins that many preferred because it wasn't profitable, not because they didn't work and for some they were preferred to the newer ones, but rather than give what's best for the patient, they give what's best for their wallets ☹️
I found out I had type one diabetes when I was nine years old one of the worst things I’ve experienced is the intense worry of when you ever have a high blood sugar or low blood sugar and the immense guilt I feel on how much my medical equipment and insulin costs
It is not an easy game. It does effect your life. But you can choose... You simply cannot live using the same path of others... You have to find your own way. Probably everybody should do it but if you have diznetes type 1 you have no choice. I became an athlete... I wake up at 5 every day to train and after that I work as architect... It is an intense life....not always easy... But it is my life. It s my way.
@Harrison Blackwood My eyesight is poor as well. Always wore glasses and contact lenses. BUT if you seen me my smile it would show all is well haha. I hope you're good, thanks for the message.
I’ve been type 1 since 1997. And yes, I also have bad sciatica since around 2005. I walk like I just shit my pants lol. Partially sighted because I’m an albino. I don’t let it bring me down. You’ve got to laugh.
But something that's barely ever mentioned and don't quote me cos I don't know either but I've heard a couple of times about how t1s energy is different or something and something about fat gain is easier for t1s but it just makes it worse for me thinking abt that ( like does that mean when I do exercise and burn energy it turns into fat or whaaat ) I just want someone to tell me There's so much not told abt diabetes were just living with it not knowing what's even happening inside our bodies It's scary
I was diagnosed with T1D in 2018 at 28 years old, thankful to a degree that it wasn’t in my earlier years, i feel for anyone that gets it young. Still not ever come across anyone Thats ever had it at 28. I’ve come to terms with it by knowing there are many people in the world with a disease that’s incurable with medicine, so I’m thankful and sympathetic to others without a cure. 🙏🏼 #StayPositive
Hope you're doing well! I'm 28 and was diagnosed a month ago. On 4 shots a day, 3 shots + 1 long lasting. My diabetic nurse consultant is brilliant and made me feel super confident about the whole thing. Thankfully, I'm in a good place so not really any worries there. Bit of a learning curve of course but it's all par for the course. HBA1C was 111 at diagnosis, after a few weeks of the Libre, it's already estimating a HBA1C of 44!
@@randomuser150 bro no one even picks up the phone to me let alone will help me with eating and nutrition etc they absolutely do not care in east London one little bit. You are lucky
The Libre 2 has definitely helped me too, my levels are now controlled. Intermittent fasting has also helped me too, low carb diet and exercise and they’ll be days where no fast acting insulin is even required! @Jonah Benson hope you’re coping ok, you may still be in the ‘honeymoon’ stage, managing it the most you can now can possibly prolong the ‘honeymoon’ allowing your pancreas to still work slightly. It will all work out in the end
@@jaestaxz7300 Consultant advised I am cpeptide positive and has out it down to being in the honeymoon period, like you said. I guess managing will become slightly more difficult and be less forgiving as the levels go down? Coping well, my wife supporting me very well 😁
Hope you ALL are still strong . My 12 year old daughter just got diagnosed with this terrible disease 😢 Life changed upside down. I just wanna see her reach to 18 first so 6 years . Someone come up with cure or make the medicine ORALLY instead of injecting
I’ve had type 1 diabetes since I was 11 years old and I’ve learned to cope and deal with it but I have times where I just don’t want to put in my insulin it’s so frustrating and I find it unfair that other people can enjoy themselves without having to constantly worry about insulin or if you have high or low blood sugar.I’m not much confident either when it comes to the future Apperently type 1 diabetics live less than the average person, I believe 7 years or something ? I canf remember
I have Diabetes since many years and it’s a pain in the ass for sure but I find this psychological problem a bit overblown. It’s hard, yes, but I‘m not gonna thrive in some kind of victim mentality. This simply does not help. Get your act together, be positive, don’t make yourself a victim. Take your sugar if you’re low and your insulin if you’re high. There‘s nothing more to it, really. Complaining and extra suffering will get you nowhere.
@@theloreaxe My comment was not to bash anybody. I agree that people are different and I’m not an emotional stone of course, but one has to raise the question why some people are like this and some are stronger. The victim narrative which is being pushed in our society today is definitely not helping, more so it’s generating a lot of harm. Many people who watch such videos get the impression that it‘s ok to see themselves as victims. But REAL compassion is to teach them that they are NOT. Who would YOU like to be? Someone who can cope with given situations or somebody who can’t? ...You should want the same for other people too.
I think the problem comes when you cont care if you die. I have had this struggle with taking my insulin. Its a real thing that has real complications. I think there needs to be more of a overall wellbeing approach to diabetes care. Mental health is so important, they should have a team in every diabetes department
I’m type 1 diabetic and have been since I was 23 months old, they literally said that it’s mainly found in young women the mental health struggles, I saw a friend of mine at the age of 14 die from KTA because she stopped injecting insulin because it was too much to handle but it also stopped her gaining weight, it’s a real mental health struggle that should be taken more seriously.
How do u not expect people to complain when diabetics in America deal with snobby business men that pawn their health for insane amounts money. A complete utter lack of awareness as to what type one diabetes is. People handle stuff differently, ur not helping anything by trying to lessen the problem. Im sure its easy to u, but the thought of living a shorter life than everyone around me is an unbearable thought none the less. Yes suffering does not get you anywhere, but neither does simplifying the issue and ignoring ur mental health.
Thank you for being the dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate doctor that you are, you are more honest than I imagined, thank you so much Dr Igudia RUclips channel for curing my Diabetes, you are amazing
Thanks you Dr Igudia on RUclips for all you do in my life and my family. I went for a test today after taking the medication i ordered from Dr Igudia and I tested diabetes negative. Thanks doctor I will keep letting the world know about your good work sir
Times used to be very Challenging, I had the worst days of my life living with Type 2 diabetes, I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, You have restored me my life that was lost already . Thank you so much for curing me of my diabetes with your natural Herbs 😊
Hey. I enjoyed this so much! I have been trying to find for a vid similar to yours that educates everything in this video. 👍Your video really reminds me of the content of Doctor Ethan. Dr Ethan's tips are useful and I learned a lot for my school. He is a helpful health enthusiast. You should check out his RUclips out and give the Doctor a like! ➡️ #DrEthanTips
I have had type 1 since 2004. I have never understood why people moan about it. You either grit your teeth and manage it or die within a matter of days. There is no room for being depressed.
DONT forget even before getting diagnosed with diabetes- some people could be suicidal or extremely depressed and with the added pain it can be too much.
@@kingtaetae7156 In which case the depression is the cause. A depressed person, like a non-depressed person will know that being emotive with type 1 diabetes is a fruitless endeavour
being recommended to doctor Igudia on RUclips has being a great blessing to my family his cure for diabetes’s is a genuine one thanks for your good deed toward humanity

I’ve had type 1 diabetes since I was 11 years old and I’ve learned to cope and deal with it but I have times where I just don’t want to put in my insulin it’s so frustrating and I find it unfair that other people can enjoy themselves without having to constantly worry about insulin or if you have high or low blood sugar.I’m not much confident either when it comes to the future Apperently type 1 diabetics live less than the average person, I believe 7 years or something ? I canf remember
yeah its pretty brutal. message me, I'm also suffering.
I am also type 1
@Dr Yuching Lee BS
3.5, nothing sweeter
I have Diabetes since many years and it’s a pain in the ass for sure but I find this psychological problem a bit overblown. It’s hard, yes, but I‘m not gonna thrive in some kind of victim mentality. This simply does not help. Get your act together, be positive, don’t make yourself a victim. Take your sugar if you’re low and your insulin if you’re high. There‘s nothing more to it, really. Complaining and extra suffering will get you nowhere.
@@theloreaxe My comment was not to bash anybody. I agree that people are different and I’m not an emotional stone of course, but one has to raise the question why some people are like this and some are stronger. The victim narrative which is being pushed in our society today is definitely not helping, more so it’s generating a lot of harm. Many people who watch such videos get the impression that it‘s ok to see themselves as victims. But REAL compassion is to teach them that they are NOT.
Who would YOU like to be? Someone who can cope with given situations or somebody who can’t? ...You should want the same for other people too.
@@mr.k905 I'm with you, mate. Its not ideal but simultaneously not unbearable
I think the problem comes when you cont care if you die. I have had this struggle with taking my insulin. Its a real thing that has real complications. I think there needs to be more of a overall wellbeing approach to diabetes care. Mental health is so important, they should have a team in every diabetes department
I’m type 1 diabetic and have been since I was 23 months old, they literally said that it’s mainly found in young women the mental health struggles, I saw a friend of mine at the age of 14 die from KTA because she stopped injecting insulin because it was too much to handle but it also stopped her gaining weight, it’s a real mental health struggle that should be taken more seriously.
How do u not expect people to complain when diabetics in America deal with snobby business men that pawn their health for insane amounts money. A complete utter lack of awareness as to what type one diabetes is. People handle stuff differently, ur not helping anything by trying to lessen the problem. Im sure its easy to u, but the thought of living a shorter life than everyone around me is an unbearable thought none the less. Yes suffering does not get you anywhere, but neither does simplifying the issue and ignoring ur mental health.
Lulz. You guys can't imagine what it is like in the U.S. This feels like a cakewalk.

Hey. I enjoyed this so much! I have been trying to find for a vid similar to yours that educates everything in this video. 👍Your video really reminds me of the content of Doctor Ethan. Dr Ethan's tips are useful and I learned a lot for my school. He is a helpful health enthusiast.
You should check out his RUclips out and give the Doctor a like! ➡️ #DrEthanTips
I have had type 1 since 2004. I have never understood why people moan about it. You either grit your teeth and manage it or die within a matter of days. There is no room for being depressed.
DONT forget even before getting diagnosed with diabetes- some people could be suicidal or extremely depressed and with the added pain it can be too much.
@@kingtaetae7156 In which case the depression is the cause. A depressed person, like a non-depressed person will know that being emotive with type 1 diabetes is a fruitless endeavour
Just a reminder, a lack of empathy doesn’t make you look cool or manly. 👋
@@easton._.141 I understand that already mate but thanks for stopping by
