Hi and welcome. I was diagnosed at age 60. I assume you will be started on what's called the Basal/Bolus insulin regime with two insulins. Don't worry about the insulin. It sounds scary but you soon get used to it and the routine of injecting. You do need to take care when driving. It's essential to tell the DVLA and your insurer. You need to test shortly before driving and every two hours during a drive. I have a test meter in the house and one in the car with glucose tablets etc

Thank you. I did wonder about the whole driving thing.
