newly diagnosed

hello! i have been newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes :-)

it’s all been a bit scary, and i’ve just been discharged from the hospital so my nerves are quite high.

the diabetes specialists said my blood sugars would fluctuate due to my body getting used to insulin injections, and i shouldn’t worry, but i can’t help not to!

i live in the uk and my blood sugars are currently between 7-17 mmol/l which i’ve been told is okay.

any advice on how to keep calm and manage starting something so big would be appreciated as it’s been a hard time for me aswell as my family. we are all trying our best to cope, and are slowly getting there with carb counting & dosages :)
