[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1639232, member: 408573"] Hello and welcome to the forum. First things first, please do not blame yourself. No one chooses to become Diabetic, it happens and no one is exactly sure as to the full range of causes. At diagnosis we go through the gamut of emotions, this is normal and is a process that may take some time before we can get to the stage when we accept that life has to be lived a little differently than before but we can overcome the difficulties that we are faced with and return to a semblance of normality. It takes time to get used to medication of any kind, this coupled with the bombshell of diagnosis means that blood glucose and mood will be affected so some people can become depressed and even try to blot out their condition preferring to ignore it. Support is needed and should be taken whether that is from freinds and family (or indeed, an online support group) or from your health care team. Insulin or the lack of it can directly affect mood so it is no wonder that you are feeling low but this will pass. I will page [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who will post the welcome pack offered to newcomers, there are links within this that will start you on your learning and with the help of others who use insulin you will be able to get a better handle on the condition. You have taken the first step, well done. [/QUOTE]
