Message: <blockquote data-quote="Juicyj" data-source="post: 1425667" data-attributes="member: 53162">Hey [USER=391597]@Hollieo4[/USER] Your story sounds quite similar to mine..I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 23 weeks and was put straight onto insulin, it was a bit of a shock but I adjusted knowing it would go once i'd given birth and yes it did, however mine took about 3 years to materialise again as type 1, I went on a skiing holiday and during the week became very ill, almost to the point of embarrassing as I was constantly drinking, peeing, losing weight and lethargic, I came back to the UK and went to the docs straight away and was diagnosed and went into hospital.  I used to wonder why and how and I never really understood why it happened, i'd been very healthy all my life.  As soon as I came to terms and started educating myself I learned how to cope better, it's really about confidence and knowing what you can do and what the effects of it will be like, this does come in time, now.  It does get alot better but talking to others, learning and listening to your body will help.  There's many here who know and understand exactly what you are going through, so lean on us for support <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
