[QUOTE="alexmaudite, post: 74076, member: 16433"] I'm 28 myself and started insulin for type 1 about 4 months ago. So it's all very fresh in my memory. My advice is definitely to talk about it as much as you can, even if you bore you family to death with it, because until you feel understood by the ones who are dear to you, you'll keep feeling really alone. Reading about people with type 1 on this forum also helped me a lot. One of my nurses is a type 1 too and it's just been a great relief to meet someone who seemed to cope that well, when I thought my life was going to be dull and complicated forever. But what people say is true, in the end diabetes is very manageable and you end up taking better care of your body than you ever did (well at least it happened to me). Good luck with it all.
