[QUOTE="Leight0n, post: 1350485, member: 365710"] Hi Adam I was diagnosed T1 on New Year's Eve. I'm 34. Just a week in and I'm already feeling better and optimistic about it all. Like people have already said I have found doing a lot of reading helps. The first thing I said to myself is that if I have this thing I want to know as much about it as possible. I've had low BG levels a few times. Just felt a bit tired and my hands started to shake a bit. Quick test and a glucose tablet and I was right as rain shortly after. No problems. The thing I quickly came to realise is that it's better to be high than low. Don't worry so much about eating too many carbs etc. One morning I only had some scrambled eggs and took my 6 units of insulin and went about my day! Not a good idea. Was also worried about having a drink. Had a good few last night at home, ate a good amount of carbs in my evening meal and a slice of pizza at around midnight. Felt fine this morning! As a newby myself feel free to message me if you want to chat with someone else that is starting this journey at the same time. [/QUOTE]
