[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1612277, member: 438800"] It sounds like your doctor is working to pin this down, which is important. It might take a little while, but getting it right is more important than doing it quickly. I have not been in the same boat as you because my diagnosis was a straightforward Type 2. It was however a big shock just to be told that I had diabetes, and I know something about what you are going through. Your selfie reminds me a bit of my eldest daughter by the way. It does get better over time, for most of us, as our attention switches to practical details and we learn to cope with diabetes. It is a big nuisance but for most of us, manageable, and we can live our lives to the fullest. Edited to add: I have a first cousin who was diagnosed with Type 1 at about your age and who is now 59. She's never let diabetes slow her down and, since I was diagnosed with T2 nine months ago, has become one of my role models for coping with the disease. [/QUOTE]
