But I do sympathise completely, I was diagnosed a week after my first birthday and I’m 26 now so I have also not known anything different. I think it’s a really good start that you actually want to change and get better control, that’s always the first and hardest step in my opinion, a lot of people can’t admit they actually need to change. If you can do I would get regular check ins with your diabetes team, I would also enquire about seeing what Therapy options they can offer. I was never a fan but they had a therapist here that specialised in diabetes which I think could be a big help. I would also enquire about a CGM, that takes away the need for as many finger pricks. Diabetes is hard and I don’t think it’ll ever get easier, there’s a lot to take into account for each day and sometimes it can feel very overwhelming but don’t let it stop you from doing the things you want to do. I am always here for a chat also  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
