[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2168168, member: 451727"] Hi [USER=516788]@Emertype1[/USER], I do agree with previous posters but I would also say it is perfectly natural to 'grieve' for the life you had before diagnosis and for you to feel as you do having been told you have a lifelong condition for which you have to take medicine for the rest of your life! Who wouldn't feel the same after just a few weeks of diagnosis and a violent introduction to it? As others have said first off it takes time to even take it all in and it's not like you get a chance to ponder it, it's here's yer insulin, off you go. You will (in all likelihood) come to terms with it but please don't feel as if somehow you are failing or not as fab as the rest of us because of the way you are feeling right now. I know we all mean well when we tell you our tales and our desire to live every day as if it were our last (sounds exhausting to me) BUT take time to grieve, learn to accept and manage what you have and remember NOBODY gets from A to Z in a fortnight. xxx [/QUOTE]
