[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1999536"] The best advice I think is to ask questions ... from the diabetes uk forum and from your diabetes team - you are not alone. Second to that, I would suggest to take it easy - there is a lot to learn about diabetes, you will probably never know it all and it will take years to know everything that could be useful Thirdly, remember type 1 is different to type 2 - 9 out of 10 people with diabetes will have type 2 diabetes so a lot of what you will read and hear about diabetes is related to type 2 and not relevant to you Fourth, be kind to yourself. Diabetes will not be controlled but it may be managed. A manager is not a sergeant major in the army and there are times when people that work for them will not do what they want or expect: diabetes is the same as those staff - it may vaguely follow rules most of the time but don't expect it to follow rules all the time. Lastly, don't let diabetes control you. If you want to do something, most things can still be done with diabetes ... although it may require a little more planning, Looking at people in the public eye with type 1 diabetes, you can win an Oscar, you can score a try against Ireland, you can run a country, ... And welcome to the club. [/QUOTE]
