[QUOTE="Cd-astro, post: 2130791, member: 511751"] Hi all, So this part update, part questions and maybe a side rant. 1. So about a month ago I was diagnosed with type 1 at 24 yrs old. Quite a shock but I have managed to cope relatively well with it so far, I think. But while I took it well, my mum did not. Shes normally quite...protective of me but this just went too far. About a week after I was diagnosed and 2 days after I started insulin I had a train cancel so had a round about route which meant I was very tired when arriving back in my uni city. I did all my tests and insulin but feel asleep soon after without updating her on my reading. Ensue the blow up. Now one of the things that came out of that was 'you're not perfect anymore' and while I never really strived for perfect having your mum say that to you is pretty brutal. I was wondering if anyone else had any similar reactions from family and what you did or do about that when it happens? 2. I've just moved from mixed insulin to long and fast acting separate and was curious if there is anything to watch out for? Also how much did or do you record about the food you eat? 3. Does anyone else get bruising where you inject? Is there anyway to prevent or mitigate that? 4. I have my first meeting with the consultant, dietician and diabetes nurse on the 19th. Are there any important topics/questions I sould be talking/questioning them about? Sorry bit of a long one. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help! Charlotte [/QUOTE]
