[QUOTE="DiabeticDadUK, post: 1447864, member: 392566"] Hi there Hannah. Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. As a well read, well educated person I'm sure you've already picked up on many of the struggles and complications that T1 can bring about. It's not the end of the world, though. Support is better today than it has ever been. I speak from experience when I say that things have improved dramatically in recent years, and I've got 32 years on my diabetes clock! Many T1 diabetics lead a perfectly normal life and there's no reason you cannot do the same. Allow yourself some time to adjust. Don't be afraid or ashamed to cry if you feel the need to. We've all been there. No T1 has never thought 'Why me!?' and had a moment. You will get things right in the end. Use this forum, social media, whatever outlets you can! to get help, support and advice. I wish todays support was around when I was first diagnosed and that I had the courage to talk about it sooner. Don't give up. Things get easier :) [/QUOTE]
