Message: <blockquote data-quote="Juicyj" data-source="post: 2753084" data-attributes="member: 53162">Hi [USER=595688]@lizcoop[/USER] Diagnosis is tough - there's alot to take in and also it can take a while for your body to recover, you have been in a highly stressful situation where your body hasn't been right for a while, getting used to insulin injections can and does take time so just go easy on yourself, prioritise your health.Take it one day at a time, lean on the forum and speak to your team if the insulin injections don't seem to be hitting the mark, in time you will adjust these yourself, Sadly stress and t1d aren't great partners, stress can aggravate t1d control as it's releasing a hormone that tells the liver to pump some glucose, I found meditation and running because of being t1d as these help keep me calm, trust me though when I say this but it does get better in time, I felt incredible frustration when I was diagnosed and couldn't get it right, knowledge is power so learn as much as you can as it will empower you and give you confidence.  Happy to chat if you need an ear.</blockquote>
