I'm 34 and I've just been diagnosed with type 1, after visiting the doctors a month ago, to ask why going for a wee had turned in to such an issue. In terms of managing urgency. Literally going to the toilet every half an hour throughout the night. After being told my pee was full of glucose, I went for fasting glucose test which gave me a HbA1c reading of 102m/mol. Now on metformin, rapid-release and long-acting insulin.
My diet used to all about the carbs and treats, so that alone has been challenging. Also, eating 3 meals a day is not something I'm used to. I'm regularly guilty of missing meal times.
Also, my time keeping is shocking at the moment, remembering to test bloods, eat food and then take meds is proving difficult. It doesn't help that my sleep pattern has been screwed up. As you can tell, being up at this time seems to be the new norm. The exhaustion is getting worse. Has anyone else been through this? It would be great to get some advice.
