[QUOTE="dancer, post: 1644312, member: 110569"] I suspected I was diabetic, after reading about the symptoms. After my diagnosis, while in hospital being stabilised, my consultant lent me a book which told me all about diabetes, including the possible complications. This made me determined to do my best to avoid complications, as I was terrified of blindness. I shed many tears and had many "Why me?" moments, for about 2 years, but just got on with it. You will get used to it and it will just become a way of life. You'll probably have lots of questions and there will always be someone to help here on the forum. Your DSN will be able to give you lots of help and advice so don't be afraid to contact her. (We can only give general advice but she can give you more specific medical advice.) I know it won't seem like it at the moment, but you will get over the shock. You will be able to lead a normal life - you just have to take a little more care. [/QUOTE]
