[QUOTE="therower, post: 1719598, member: 47983"] Diagnosed at 27 yrs old ( 27 yrs ago ). Suspected something was wrong prior to diagnosis but with a lack of internet/ information back then I actually knew very little about diabetes and it's seriousness. On being diagnosed, I thought WOW I'm a DIABETIC TYPE 1. Ignorance can be bliss I guess. For some reason I'm not entirely sure of I just accepted and embraced being diabetic. Injections with the old syringes on occasion were difficult, spent many a 10 mins trying to find the courage to inject.:):). Diet was never really an issue, dietician said " eat healthy and cut out junk food " and it worked and still does. I feel sorry for a lot of newly diagnosed T1's. With the internet, forums and google there is just to much information for the beginner. Keep it basic , keep it simple at first. Time = experience = control.;) [/QUOTE]
