Message: <blockquote data-quote="Juicyj" data-source="post: 2688814" data-attributes="member: 53162">Hello [USER=586935]@Jingaling[/USER] Welcome to the forum.Absolutely normal to have the concerns you have, it's easy to fall into the trap about worrying about the future but it's also important to live in the moment too, do the right things now and the odds of future complications are vastly reduced, I was exactly the same and now I hardly think about the future as long as I do my best that's all I can do, why worry about something that hasn't happened is my view.Great advice above, but remember you're never alone in this, always some other t1d you can chat to here about any concerns you have, it's a minefield if you let it, but try and empower yourself with information so you are prepared for anything, great book to get is 'Think like a pancreas' written by a t1d.Also always treat your hypo, glucotabs are my go to as I treat them like medication and no one is likely to steal them either, but 3 tabs when dropping below 3.9 and wait 10 mins, if still low 3 more.  The NHS offers a 'Dose adjustment for normal eating' DAFNE course but about a year or so after diagnosis once your out of your honeymoon phase, they key is just checking your levels, it become intuitive over time and you'll not even realise you are doing it.  Best wishes - shout if you need anything.</blockquote>
