[QUOTE="becca59, post: 2455524, member: 264425"] Welcome to the forum [USER=550171]@ReadyCrowd[/USER]. It is very early days in your diagnosis. Accept that the feelings you are having are perfectly normal. You are having to change the whole way that you think about eating and living with this condition on a daily basis. It will take time. Yes at the moment there is a torrent of information. Before you know it all this will be second nature. Listen to your medical team, take each day at a time and don’t beat yourself up over results. Within weeks you will have settled down and be feeling more confident. It is a shame that other people in your life are not open to talking about it. Mention this next time you speak to your DN there are professionals you can talk to. Plus we are here on the forum for all questions no matter what they are. There is no such thing as a silly question. Just to point out, age is no barrier to a type 1 diagnosis. It is very common to be much older. I myself was 54. [/QUOTE]
