[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2691452, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=570182]@Miss Piggywig[/USER] And welcome to the forum - lots of great advice above. It is a minefield getting used to insulin and carbs, but only you will start to work out how your body responds and how best to manage your diabetes, so becoming an expert in time and taking full control is your best way forward, soak up as much information as you can, at this present time it's best to acknowledge the numbers and see and learn about where you can tweak them to get them down, it's definitely a marathon at this stage though so don't expect quick results, just take pride in the fact that you are doing your best and that's all you can do. Carbs with every meal... mmmm - expect to hear lots of expert advice from non diabetics, only those living with it know how this really works, that being said my diabetic nurse is an absolute gem with advice and knowledge but even she will admit to not knowing the full extent of t1d management, which is honest and respectful to hear. Also keep talking to us, diagnosis brings a whole set of emotions to the fore, having peer support is vital to just off load and not feel so alone, we are all here to help. [/QUOTE]
