Hi guys. Ok I’m definitely new here lol.

Last Thursday I was rushed to hospital by my gf I had big issues breathing.

Was seen to straight away by the staff. They put me on oxygen to highest level. Was on it a long time.

Then was told I got pneumonia.
Also plates influenza plus bugs in my lungs.

Then the ultimate kick I was told I’m type 1 diabetes.

Felt my world was torn apart. Was fit n healthy now down to this.

Got home yesterday now re cooperating at home trying to get my head around this new life style.

Good thing I suppose is these needles aren’t big lol. Very thin small so hardly feel pain.

Looking forward to hopefully meeting friends on here and talking to everyone how they are getting on with this.

Take care.

Matt.

By the way, there are plenty of fit and active diabetics so don’t worry too much.
 
Hey Matt,
Welcome to the world of diabetes!

Hope you're coping well with this huge change. You'll be back to being fit and healthy in no time, but with quirks!
