[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2445268, member: 53162"] Welcome to the forum :) Yes it's a huge shock and with it comes many emotions, grief, depression, anger, denial, all of these can be experienced together or alone in stages as you process the information and learn to adapt but the most important one is the acceptance stage, which is where you start to adopt the behaviours required to cope with type 1 and living with the condition. It's a bumpy road so don't be afraid to ask for help or support ever, your nurse will hold your hand through the early days too so it's good to keep a blood glucose diary and track doses and glucose readings so any patterns can be identified and acted on if adjustments to insulin dosing is required. We do become the experts in our condition though, living with this 24/7 means you're in the driving seat as you can see what's going on so it's important you communicate well with your team. I remember very well my diagnosis so happy to help with any questions :) [/QUOTE]
