[QUOTE="Bluey1, post: 1507090, member: 36344"] I was in a similar position. You will be bashed about the head with all sorts of information. You have already been given excellent guidance above. If you feel funny test, if low, a small sweet snack, follow that rule for the rest of your life and you will have a fantastic start. There are all sorts of options, but go simple to start with and once that is sorted then start getting adventuresome. Many here are mini cyborgs, with all sorts of stuff stuck in them (and it's great stuff and frequently expensive), but take your time. The best bit of advice is you have plenty of company and anything you feel emotionally and physically, there is a small army here that has been there done that and survived, I would suggest that many T1's here are not just surviving, but are thriving. Once you start to get the hang of things remember you are in control of Diabetes not Diabetes in control of you. You will have to make a few compromises, but don't let it take over your life, except for the first few months. As far as I'm concerned D is there for my convenience not the other way around. What works for one person frequently doesn't work for another. Welcome to our exclusive club, we are fussy whom we let in, but you have passed with flying colours. You will become more relaxed with it as time goes by. [/QUOTE]
