Yes she is, i am in contact with her around 3 times a week, she will get fed up of me. Its just really getting me down and cant seem to get my head around it all
 
It's ok to contact her often it's part of being new to it. My nurse was my life line to begin with. Have they said if you may do daffine course? Or pump? In the future? I have had it 15years there are up and down days but just to say it can get better than where you are today

No your not alone, I think most people do experience what you are at the moment. Speak to people who can offer you support including your gp and nurse, be honest dont be ashamed to say how youre feeling its only natural to go through some of these feelings - diabetes is a big thing to get your head around Im still trying only diagnosed 7 weeks ago

your so positive for a newbie. Thank you. I dot want to burden anyone but at the same time, im not in a good place right now.
 
Hi everyone it seems that you all have something in common being newly diagnosed it took me about 6 months to get up on my feet. That was only because of my tiredness, adjustment and my family.
I found my nurse, my friends were massive in it and research. I did a lot of googling which answered a lot of things. I personally always found mixed insulin the hardest
