I’ve just been diagnosed with type 1 too in feb and still smoking.. it’s hard work adjusting to all this yeah.. is so giving myself a few months to go off.

Aw I am having the same sort of time ATM. I have only been diagnosed in February and I have been coping fine until now. Recently I am so fed up having to watch what I eat and drink, checking it constantly and guessing what to inject. I can’t believe I have to go on like this for the rest of my...

Aw. It’s a big shock. I was newly diagnosed half way through feb this year. I’m nearly 30! My blood results were exactly like yours. It went really high towards bedtime too. Just when I felt I had it all worked out and had my numbers under some sort of control it changed. A few weeks ago I...
