[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 963589, member: 53162"] Hi Claire, it is hard, I was there myself 3 years ago, my diagnosis was so sudden then I was launched into this blood testing and constant injecting, I struggled massively, I think as an insulin dependent diabetic it is particularly hard to come to terms as it consumes your life and sadly there are very few around you who can really understand, particularly when you have a family to look after and suddenly you have to re-prioritise your life and put yourself first. Well on the positive side you are old enough to get on with it and young enough to have the drive and motivation to look after yourself. The course will help it gives you focus and helps you manage the day to day care, rather than thinking this is it for life. Also don't feel alone there are lots of folk on here you can talk to, me included now :) [/QUOTE]
