Yes, it's still all very new! Slowly getting used to it though... although I think I've figured it out and then something happens that muddles me up again! How did you find getting used to it after years without?

It all happened within a matter of 2 days doctors Thursday hospital Friday on insulin Friday afternoon. I was in shock and was deeply upset due to myself applying for Royal Air Force as being my life time ambition and goal but being type 1 I could not join which left me in tears but I just got on with it and now I am totally fine with it it all started with a infection I had. It's Crazy because nobody in my family has or had type 1.
 

Oh that sounds awful! I do have a history in the family but it never crossed my mind it would happen to me!

Yeah it was a stab to the heart but I just soldiered on and now I'm more than happy with my life and yeah it's something which can creep up on you

I'm near your age
28 is close?!

I've had it a while, but still have a lot of ups and downs.
I have no family history or anything like that it just happened.

I've only just joined these forums there so many. Sure many will help.
