Hey everyone just been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the end of June and finding it really hard and depressing. I had the symptoms couple of weeks before I was admitted to hospital, symptoms included severe thirst, didn’t want to get out of bed, pain in the kidney area etc. I know I should’ve checked in earlier but wasn’t the hospital type and thought the symptoms were just a man flu coming on. Eventually my partner had to call an Ambulance and I went in with DKA and a blood clot on my left kidney and type 1 diabetes which I later found out anyways to cut a long story short I was discharged a couple of weeks ago and don’t think the support is enough or maybe I don’t knw where to find it. The diabetes centre just give u a bunch of booklets n send u on ur way and the GP don’t knw what they’re doing half the time. Just want some advice on where I can go or what to do, even if it’s just some place where people go to and talk about their life’s and how it’s changed dramatically (in my case) who have similar illnesses. Thanks tke cre ppl
