Educate Yourself

[James12]

Newly diagnosed type 1 diabetics must educate themselves. The NHS will help you a great deal but will only provide you with a small fraction of the information you need to know after diagnosis. (the second one 'think like a pancreas' also provides information to people using pumps)

Two books:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Like-Panc ... 424&sr=1-1

My recommendation for anyone newly diagnosed would not be either of those books. Though I do recommend Think like a Pancreas for someone using MDI but perhaps not immediately on diagnosis.
My recommendation for a book for. in spite of the title, someone of any age would be this one

It's subtitle, 'How to become an expert in your own diabetes' describes it aptly.
