If you are newly diagnosed…T1DM takes a lot of getting your head round. Have you had a chance to do a diabetes management course yet?Apart from the information given you will meet other people with Type 1, maybe a kindred spirit, maybe see how others are coping/not coping.There’s a lot to figure out and it is draining.Are you able to make use of as much tech to help as you can get your hands on?Keep yourself safe and talk to those around you and the medical team looking after you.I don’t just dislike diabetes, I hate it! And tell my husband so regularly.Yesterday we went out, I had to sort out my blood sugar so I could drive safely..and he bought us lunch and me a box of chocolates. I eat them sparingly these days, as part of a meal.I also snuck into two wool shops and bought myself some yarn.Treat yourself to things if nobody else will.Hope you are able to do just one thing to make yourself feel a bit better.</blockquote>
