I'm 30 and was diagnosed 3 weeks ago so I know a little of what you are going through regarding the shock. I too have been told I may well go through a honeymoon period for the next 6 months. My diabetic nurse calls me twice a week for my BG results and has adjusted my insulin according to that. My night time lantus has certainly been reduced but only on her instruction. So far the advice has worked well.Take it easy. My mam bought me a hypo lunch bag with supplies in (very pretty). I got some diabetes  wristbands just because I'll be adjusting and might be a bit off if I get it wrong. I bought a Frio wallet (holds 2 pens) for if I'm out and about. I got the diabetes:m app which I've found super useful for tracking my BG. I also am reading the Think Like A Pancreas book. And because I like to be useful (and I'm not good at being off work), I subscribed for the ADDRESS2 trial. They link you to trials for diabetes. I'm hopefully eligible for a trial in Cardiff, Leeds and Sheffield. The Cardiff one especially needs people who have just been diagnosed to look at immune response. And just take it day by day and ask tons of questions if you need to. You'll soon get a grip of it! I hope this is in any way helpful and Good Luck!!! Kat x</blockquote>
