[QUOTE="lilibet, post: 27045, member: 11459"] Hi Leanne Am so sorry you are feeling bad but having just been diagnosed 3 weeks ago I completely and utterly understand how you feel. Disbelief reigns, followed by a realisation that a lifetime of checking blood,food etc reigns. Like you I am on relatively small levels of insulin and have spent time wondering if in fact maybe there had been a mistake (thyroid, pituitary gland anyone?) but I think this is natural response. I have sent you a PM to offer reassurance that it wont be like that forever and you will get some level of acceptance and whilst it might be a pain in the bum (literally), the best thing you can do is take one day at a time, for now at least. My intial post three weeks ago is testimony to where I was at and although my no means a pro, you will make progress, even if its only baby step. That first baby step is to start taking your insulin. If you try and take control you WILL feel better because I think that lack of control, lack of peer support and unfortunately the manner that you find out (in your case it was pretty traumatic), plus the lack of good quality follow up at times contribute to the mental meltdown Im sure we have all felt. Chin up, Lilibet [/QUOTE]
