[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1553833"] Sounds like you've been through the mill. But the good news is you now know the route cause of your problems. Personally, I always celebrate "D"-day. This is not the day I got diabetes, it is the day I was diagnosed with diabetes. Although it was a traumatic experience, if the diagnosis had not happened, I wouldn't be here to celebrate it. I don't know the day I got diabetes and my body started killing off insulin-producing cells but that doesn't sound like the kind of day I want to remember anyway. I remember the information overload. It gets easier but there is always something new to learn. You probably have enough material to read through but if you want something written in a different style, many people recommend the book "Think like a Pancreas". It is American so you have to skip through the bits about insurance (in my case, I skipped in a smug glad-we-have-the-NHS-despite-some-of-its-failings kind of way). I found the tone annoyingly pally but many people find the content useful. [/QUOTE]
