Hey! I'm 23 and type 1 as well, only difference is that I was only diagnosed two weeks ago ([emoji85] ) while on a trip in South America. Nobody in my family has it so this website and forum have been a huge help! [emoji5]

Thank you for replying! I just can't decide, there's conflicting advice everywhere.

Hey! I'm on Humulin NPH, twice a day. When I was diagnosed I was told it can only be injected into my arm or stomach, not my legs. Is this correct? I feel like I'm running out of space to inject without getting too close to previous injection sites. Any help would be really appreciated! Anna xo

Hahah don't worry about it! I appreciate you reading and replying to my post :)

I just checked and my bread is 18g for two slices xo

I take 15 units of insulin (nph) in the morning, and after that breakfast my blood sugar is always at a good level. I haven't learned yet about carb counting to match insulin and right now I only take it twice a day - morning/evening.

Hi! I was diagnosed a week ago, and since then have been eating pretty much the same three meals a day to keep my blood sugar level. Usually for breakfast I have some wholemeal toast with peanut butter on it. It's tasty but I'm getting bored of it. Before I was diagnosed I would always eat...

Thank you for your help! This is the problem though, I'm not at home at the minute, I'm in Brazil and was diagnosed here so I don't have access to everything I would at home. Luckily though I do have this forum, it'd been a life saver!

Thank you so much for your replies! It's horrible, they're getting worse and worse. Could this be a sign that my insulin doses are wrong? Xo

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with type 1 last week and since I started taking my insulin my eyesight is getting worse and worse. I'm 23 and I've worn glasses since I was 7, but I never needed to wear them all the time as I could see well. Now though, I cannot read without them and everything...

Thank you for replying and sharing your story! My job is in the south of the UK, and I live in the North. It's a temporary summer role working with children, and is the field I would eventually like to get into so I was really looking forward to it and being able to boost my CV a little...

Thank you all so so much for taking the time to reply, especially with such detailed and informative posts. I really appreciate it. I am definitely going to think about everything you have all said. I do just worry that I don't understand diabetes enough yet, and as I will have a whirlwind of...

Thank you for your replies! I can't make my mind up. The thing is, I'm out of the UK right now visiting my boyfriend who lives in Brazil. I was diagnosed here so will have to have all my appointments and intros again when I get home. And I only have three days between landing back and starting...

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Type 1 last week and still learning about everything. I was due to start a summer job next month, and I am unsure now about whether or not I should do it. It's a high energy job that would require me being on my feet all day, running around, moving a lot...
