[QUOTE="LizzieP, post: 74346, member: 12396"] Hello Sylv! Welcome to the forum. What you are feeling is natural. It's kind of a grieving process for the life you had before. I can only echo what everyone else has already said. It does get easier, I promise. I'm only 1 year down the road but feel almost feel 'normal' again now I've got my head around it. Having said that, I had a rubbish day of it yesterday, but that's they way it goes. People without Type 1 Diabetes also get rubbish days! I can recommend a couple of books which I found really useful when newly diagnosed (I still refer to them very often) which are Using Insulin by John Walsh and Think Like A Pancreas by Gary Scheiner. Also, there are so many people on this site who can help you with specific issues and problems you may come across as you start to learn how to live with it. Or even if you want a good old fashioned rant! We're all here to help each other. :D [/QUOTE]
