    9 months in, new to Diabetes UK forum

    Hi, I was diagnosed with Type 1 in September last year. 95% of the time I feel like I'm coping, I'm practical and just get on with it, but have the occasional mini-meltdown.

    Days in the life of a T1 Diabetic...

    As part of Diabetes Awareness Month, I thought it might be a good idea to get as many T1 Diabetics together on one day to produce a "Day in the Life", that shows what a T1D does every day, how often they think about and act on their diabetes. I propose November 16th as the date. My idea was...
