Hello from a new T1

[Rob2006Scott]

Hi all,
I was diagnosed type 1 just over a month ago. This was quite a surprise as I'm 40+ yrs old. I'm on 2 insulin injections a day and I must admit thing aren't going too bad. I've not had too many problems that my DSN hasn't been able to help with.

Just thought I'd introduce myself because I'm sure I'll need some help and advice soon.

Hope this posts in the right place!

Rob.

Welcome to the forum Rob, pleased your coping well with things

Thanks. Still all a bit strange though. Difficult to explain but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Hi Rob, welcome to the Type 1 club ! (not quite the Breakfast Club but at times it feels like it!)

Thanks. There's a lot of good advice from a lot of good people on here. Glad I signed up.

Welcome. I have some T1s in my family who were all diagnosed between the age of 7 and 16, so for a long time I thought older people couldn't get T1. Then a friend got it at 37 and I found this forum and saw that lots of people get it as adults. So it's unusual but not too unusual, if you get my drift. It would certainly be a surprise for you. Glad to hear you are adapting to it so well.

That's good to know. I was wondering how common it could be.
Thanks for saying hello.
