Has any one found them selves on a it of an emotional rollercoaster when first diagnosed with type 1
 
Yes @jim_200 I went on a quite a ride when I was diagnosed aged 39, it came out of the blue and knocked me side ways, I think it was because i'd always been so fit and well and so it was a lot to take in, some describe it as the grieving process which is believable as i'd lost my confidence in my health and was grieving for my former life, it took a while to adjust to the insulin, and getting used to the highs and lows of that too, also getting used to the fact that initially it does consume your life in so many ways. Once I gained confidence with my knowledge and my management things got alot better, and it's much easier now on a day to day basis to manage it. Keep talking to those around you, it does get better.
