[QUOTE="isjoberg, post: 1789727, member: 72864"] I'm 22 but was diagnosed over 20 years ago so can't really help with the newly diagnosed feeling. However, I do want echo what is said above, you can live a fulfilling life and diabetes is just another part of it. It can be overwhelming at times, but remember you are doing the job of an internal organ (and people without long-term conditions also have bad days so you are perfectly justified to have them!) Have you looked into seeing if there are any local diabetes groups, or whether you have any friends of friends with diabetes? It's always nice to have other people to talk to! If not - feel free to get in touch :) this forum is great because everyone is so supportive and ready to answer any questions you might have, and I've learnt a lot from here as well! Welcome to the club x [/QUOTE]
