[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1736075, member: 468055"] Ups and downs. I didn’t deal with diagnosis well at all, took incredibly good care of it when I wanted to have a baby, and then it all fell apart again when he was born. Since this year I’m on a real mission to get on top of it, I’ve been lucky enough to be prescribed a Libre, which has removed the biggest obstacle to my management, which was the finger prick tests. I work with metal, so my hands are usually pretty filthy and rough! So now I know what’s going on glucose-wise, I can deal with it. So I’ve changed my food, feel much better and my levels are in range. Not sure how long this new enthusiasm will last, I’m quite scared it will wear off and then I’m stuffed. I’m hoping that making contact with other type 1s will help with that - I’ve dealt with it alone up until now. Family and friends are really supportive, but nobody actually KNOWS unless they walk the same path, do they? [/QUOTE]
