Welcome to the forum. You're absolutely not overreacting - 6 weeks is still very new to everything that's involved with T1d and illness and stress are extra complications so you should be congratulating yourself on managing this new diagnosis. It does get easier with more knowledge. There are...

If you've got the USB connector (realtyme) then the diasend up loader on your computer should load all the data into diasend - I sometimes have to press buttons on my meter to keep it awake while the data is uploading.

They look yummy!

You've still got type 1 so they still need to know and it's probably useful that they know that you have a pump as you may need to check your levels during an exam

Brilliant job -well done!

Hi I have both, Addisons first and then LADA much more recently. The steroids can make bloods run higher but so can everything else. I'm lucky in that my addisons is very stable so I have to say the diabetes is much harder work for me.

Cutting down on carbs is a good move and exercise is always a plus - I think there's a sense of panic when anyone gets diagnosed but it gets better with time and the forum is full of helpful people whatever the question.

No but mainly just lurking getting lots of good advice and giggles too. Your comment made me laugh out loud!

I've not seen them in chemists only ever bought on line direct from Abbott

I don't play golf but I found out for longish walks for me (2-3 hours) that starting high didn't help or stop hypos - and I was better not starting too high and just having a small snack on the way - Libre does make checking easier! It's never a perfect science but...
