[QUOTE="Stephsk, post: 997329, member: 224565"] Hi I was diagnosed with T1, 18 months ago at the age of 41. Spent 4 days in hospital ( Friday- Mon as no consultant!) with severe ketoacidosis, I'd lost nearly 2 stone but was in denial of my symptoms. I was like you and it probably didn't really hit me until about 6 months in. I think it was coping with all it entailed- the carb counting, the injections, the hypos and having to be so careful when I drink alcohol, I wasn't thinking long term but the absolute realisation that this is it for the rest of my life hit hard. I'm so lucky though, I have an amazing husband, family and friends and though I've been told, I may still be in honeymoon phase, I do find it, for the most part, easy to maintain my BG. You're right- there are folk far worse off! Good luck with everything and don't worry about the insulin injections. Before I was allowed to leave hospital my lovely DN told me- don't think about it- just do it! I remember that every injection! [/QUOTE]
