[QUOTE="Sirzy, post: 247980, member: 38017"] Hi Helen, I know exactly how you feel. I was diagnosed in the summer, and spent the first couple of weeks afterwards totally dazed, buying every book I could find and scouring the internet for info. After this initial time, I then sank into a bit of a depression and still tend to have my good days and bad days (it doesn't help that I've just been diagnosed with a rare form of diabetes which will eventually make me deaf :( ). There's not much I can add to what other people here have already said, other than you'll learn to deal with it better as time goes on, you'll still get angry and feel life's dealt you a bad hand, and wish you could be the way you were before, but you'll also feel good that you're giving your body the right foods and doing the best you can for your poorly pancreas, I even feel quite protective of my beta cell now, daft I know :D I think it's important to look for the positives with this disease (easier said than done), and accept that there will be times when you hate it, and everyone else who gets to be 'normal' and eat anything they want, and there'll be days when you feel very down. But you're not alone, especially not with this forum, it's been a massive help to me and has stopped me feeling so isolated, and there's always someone here to offer a bit of support. Hope this helps a bit :) [/QUOTE]
