[QUOTE="lizdeluz, post: 533218, member: 32108"] I recognise your description of how things were 30 years ago for newly-diagnosed diabetics, and, like you, I was naive and somehow have muddled through, a difference being that I was 30 when diagnosed type 1 and preoccupied with being a mum to a toddler and a baby rather than with my own health. Like you, I sometimes wonder how I survived, I haven't controlled my diabetes very well and never acquired the confidence to control ratios of basal, bolus, and food. I'm pleased to have found this forum and to benefit from the very good advice on here. I agree with other posts above that there is some stuff on here that could be scary for newbies, but there are plenty of knowledgeable and experienced diabetics on here who keep a weather eye open for this stuff, ready to support those who feel insecure.
