Hello!
I'm a type 1 diabetic that got diagnosed when I was 12. When I got my first got insulin, my skin got irritated, I broke out in hives and almost fainted because my blood pressure plummeted.
Doctors did some more tests and I came back positive for insulin allergy. I can't survive without insulin, but constantly injecting myself with the stuff might end up killing me one day too. I've tried finding other people in the same situation, but apparently insulin allergy in diabetics is quite rare.
Someone pointed me to this subreddit, so here I am!
