Hi Ugo, welcome to the forum. Tonnes of help and information available here.

Personally I would wait till you have definitive from your tests and your specialists determine which treatment is right for you at the moment (whether you are still honeymooning or not).

I've been type 1 for nearly 20 years and its not stopped me doing anything I wanted, so as daunting as it may be, with the right management you can live a healthy and productive life.

If there's anything in particular you wish to know, please give us a shout.

Hello @updibia and welcome to the forum :)

It's quite a whirlwind when you are diagnosed so try to take things easy, write things down and really lean on your healthcare team for advice and support. There's a great wealth of support here in the forum and hopefully lots of new friends too, whereabouts are you based ? and what insulins have you been given ?

Best wishes J
