I've been diabetic for about 3.5 years now, and i'm turning 23 this year. In the beginning, for the first week or so, i set alarms on my mobilephone to remind me of injecting and testing. Then it just became a habit to just take that little break and test and inject. It does happen i forget i'm diabetic sometimes and just eat and then... Shiiiiiiiit i forgot to take my insulin after a while when i feel my sugar is going up. **** happens

If you want control, then you really just need some self diciplin. Just do it!

If you simply can't remember to do your "D stuff" then just ask someone around you to be your personal reminder parrot
Hope everything will go well

And one thing is for sure. When being in control, you'll feel GREAT!
