[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 235578, member: 11028"] Hi Snapper and welcome! :) Like you I had no family history of diabetes so being diagnosed with type 1 was a bolt out of the blue! I have had diabetes for 30 years now and lead a normal life as much as anyone else so there are no reasons why you shouldn't, yes we have to be careful and remember to inject our insulin and test our blood glucose but these things do become second nature once who have had it for a while, it's all very daunting at first but believe me it will get easier! :D Your 4th paragraph gives me hope you will adapt to diabetes well.....''everything in moderation'' is a term we often use on here and is a good approach when it comes to food and drink, I don't personally have a sweet tooth so rarely eat cakes or any other sweet things but everything else I eat in moderation.....so don't give up on those poker holidays just yet! :wink: Best wishes and hope all goes well.
