Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear this. As a T2 I won't offer any advice, but plenty of T1s here will support you. Can you tell us what meds you are on.

Hi - Welcome aboard! So how have things been since November? I too had no family history when I was diagnosed at 27.

Hi and thanks. I have other AI conditions so won’t bore you with all those meds. But in terms of diabetes just doing 3 units long acting each day. Sticking to a fairly low carb diet.
Numbers are looking ok so far

Me to, I have a heck of a list. Takes me over an hour to sort out tablets for the week.

Hi Porl. It’s all going ok thanks. I’m very active, and quite possibly still in honeymoon period but It appears I’m in range roughly 95%
