Yip type 1 diagnosed just over two weeks ago - from Bangor
 
Hi Monty! Im sure its all a bit shocking at the moment. How are you feelin? Wat age are you?
 
Type 1for 10 years now lorry driver and its not easy in my job but u have to put up with it east Belfast
 
Im just about to turn 32 on valentines day and feel middle aged lol ive been diabetic for 5 years now. To be honest it was a relief wen i was diagnosed as i was so ill for months!! Its good to be pragmatic about his illness but if ur having a tough time thats ok too!!

Yeah I pretty much knew I was diabetic based on the symptoms but spending 2 nights in hospital on a drip was the worst part.

The hassle of it all, checking before driving and the paranoia of being low are the hardest parts at the moment
 
The paranoia subsides a bit as you get used to things but dont ever get complacent....itll bite u in the bum. I dont drive yet (i know its shameful) but i can imagine thats very annoying!
