[QUOTE="miahara, post: 2167677, member: 256148"] Hi and welcome Emertype1. It's easy to say, but stop stressing, it doesn't do you any good, in fact it's probably worse for your health than diabetes. You'll find as you browse the forum that that are very many T1s who have happily managed it for donkey's years are thay are well, healthy and happy. When I was diagnosed T2 it was a bolt frrom the blue and three days later a very good friend wss diagnosed T1 after a similar hospital expereince to yours. He adapted to D better and faster than I did and lives a very complete and happy life with excellent control over his blood glucose. I've now more or less caught up with him as my pancreas has packed in and I now inject insulin too. But I've also found the insulin is giving me great control and I'm experiencing no health issues. Odds-on you'll still be around in 50 years time! [/QUOTE]
