[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1785539, member: 372717"] Hmm, well try not to stress. The good news is that you weren't unconscious before diagnosis. T1 diabetes normally comes on pretty fast, so you shouldn't have caused any long term damage before diagnosis, so there's no need to stress about astronomical (or not) pre diagnosis readings. Sorry you're stuck with this illness, but it is something that you can take control of in the long term, and there's no need to panic about short term weird readings. (T1 for 48 years here, the first 15 pre blood testing meters :)). Lots of reasonably instant help on these forums if you have queries, and infinite quantities of moral support. Good luck with it all.
