[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1977164"] [USER=498843]@RoseShiel[/USER] Welcome to a very exclusive club. Whilst none of us joined through choice, we do have fun and adventure together. Like any club, some of the people, rules and equipment can be very daunting at first but over time, it starts to feel normal. There is some great advice above so I won't repeat any of that. I will tell you what my Diabetes Nurse told me when I was diagnosed: "Diabetes should not stop you doing what you want." I've tested that advice on many occasions with travel, food, exercise, career, ..., and, with a little bit of planning, she was right. There are some amazing inspirational people with type 1 diabetes (Steve Redgrave, Halle Berry, Theresa May*, ...) and thinking of them gives me a kick every so often when diabetes is getting me down. *I'm not a fan of our prime minister but I do think it is incredible how type 1 does not appear to stop her.
