Hi
It is a huge change to accept, i cried myself to sleep for 6 weeksbefore thinking.. Hey I got to get on with this..kept thinking 'why me?' all the time. However, it does get better and easier. I was put on a strict guide of whatI could eat...and it took a while to learn that actually if I want something I just have to work out how muchinsulin I need.
What is it that you are finding especially difficult? If its spikes etc when you eat, this evens out as you learn.. 3 days in you are doing very well, so don't put too much pressure on yourself....
Diabetes isn't a problem, honest. It does change your life, but shouldn't rule your life.....
I remember my diagnosis very clearly. I can honestly say that I have looked after myself better because I have diabetes than if I hadn't have git diagnosed with it. I see all the larger people around me because they eat too much (not all of them if course) and I think that could have been me. Instead, I have a gorgeous, slim, lean body and I'm proud of it. That is solely because I have looked after myself.
I know unlike so many people that I have my blood pressure etc checked and again lots of people don't and don't realise they should.
Your life will change, but you could make it for the better... And I'm sure you will.
