[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1988224"] Welcome to our exclusive little club. Initiation may seem a little harsh at the start but you'll get used to us and what unites us. There is loads of information around this site - not just the forum. One thing that will become very obvious very soon is that type 1 and type 2 are different conditions with different treatments sharing the same name. It is often said that 9 out of 10 people with diabetes have type 2. This is reflected in the diabetes.co.uk forum. As a result, some of what you will reads will not be relevant. The introductory message from daisy1 (which someone else has mentioned) is long and describes some of these differences. The focus of the message is on type 2 - that is not to say, it is not useful but don't feel you need to stop eating anything with carbs or that you can manage type 1 with diet alone. One of the first pieces of advice I was given was that type 1 diabetes should not stop me doing what I want. And it hasn't. Google something like "Famous people with type 1 diabetes" and you will get some idea what you can do with it. Ask any questions you want ... but don't expect to learn everything on day 1. Most of us are still learning, 10, 15, 20, 30, ... years after diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
