[QUOTE="MCart18, post: 2175172, member: 517240"] I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in March 2019, since then I have completed my A-levels and moved 100miles away from home to university. As soon as I was diagnosed I really wanted someone else to talk to who knew what having T1 diabetes was like, it seems that even though people around me try to understand what its like for me - they never quite do and I find it quite isolating (especially since moving to university). I regularly find myself getting very stressed about the levels of my blood sugars as I know that they're far from perfect and it feels like an impossible task trying to make them more stable! I feel very out of control of my blood sugars and often catastrophise about possible future complications if I don't get them sorted out. For this reason I would love to have someone who knows what it's like being newly diagnosed to talk to, I need someone to tell me if my blood sugars are as bad as I think they are and honestly I just want someone to tell me that I'm going to be okay cause every time I think about a lifetime of this it makes me want to cry.
