[QUOTE="Alberti, post: 1001984, member: 184721"] Hi Rob. I was diagnosed type 1 , 8 months ago. Felt excactly like you. Overwhelmed,panicked, and scared for the future. Struggled with my levels for months. Got even depressed . Thought life is no fun anymore. Used to work and travel as Scuba Diver Instructor during winter months in Asia . (live in Finland,cold in winter)Thought that was over, just stay home and prick fingers . But then decided this condition will not spoil my life. Got my levels in range(HBAC 5.9 %) . Just packed my bags to Bali, Indonesia a month ago. Learning how to travel again, regarding Insulin keeping cool and eating out every day in a country with rice/noodle as main dish. Was the same struggle with my levels as 8 months ago !! But slowly learned every day again and levels back within range now, after high readings at the start of the trip. And help from this forum. Believe now you can do everything in life as type 1. But only have to life with the precautions to take with T1. And learn to keep your levels within range, to avoid complications later on in life. Take Care ,Willem [/QUOTE]
