Well after a heck of a week I am now diagnosed T1. 3 months ago my 8yr old was diagnosed and we went through a bad time with ‘honeymoon’ period, lots of lows and a collapse.
I think I’m kinda prepared for my own diagnosis after managing the little ones for the last 3 months.
Couple of questions tho.
..My eyesight has been junk this week, I can’t focus correctly and can’t see too far (even with my contacts/glasses on) - will this go back to normal once my sugars come down?
..I’ve had a headache for near on a week, the DSN I spoke to today said she will check again tomorrow and also blood pressure check. this should go away as my bloods drop?
..I’m due to go away for 8 days skiing in jan, should I reconsider at this early stage? How do T1 manage all day activities like boarding/skiing, it’s a lads trip and we always do lots of miles and 9-5 on the slopes (followed by apres!)
Any advice welcome..
