Greetings!
Diagnosed 5 days ago, started on insulin 4 days ago, have loads to learn. Thank you to all of you who have posted so much useful and supportive information on these message boards!
My question; is there a 'check-list' for newly diagnosed T1's? Kinda like a FAQ and an instruction sheet - e.g.
1. Make sure your GP has registered you and you get a certificate so that you get all prescriptions for free (no one told me so I paid a small fortune to buy all the gear - and am now having to claim it all back!)
2. Make sure you are also tested for celiac
3. Make sure you inform a)DVLA b)Life Insurance c)Mortgage (?) etc
4. etc
Has any one created a template diary with a list of the sorts of things a T1 will now have to do every day, week, month and year?
Sorry if there are answers already out there - will also keep looking, but any help would be great.
