Hi and welcome
You are 6 months ahead of me on diagnosis but I'm 31 years ahead of you in age.... Still.... similar challenges with the diabetes I imagine. Good that you found the forum as it really does help to share thoughts and feelings and ideas and frustrations with other people who face the same issues. I have learned so much from the kind and helpful members of this forum in the short time I have been a member here.
Would you like to tell us a bit about how you manage your diabetes ie MDI or pump and which insulin(s) you are using.
Do you have Freestyle Libre sensors for monitoring your levels or are you finger pricking? Do you use any other tech to help you manage your diabetes? Any particular issues that you have difficulty with etc. feel free to ask. There is such a range of experience here that it is extremely rare that someone doesn't have knowledge or ideas to try which may help.
Anyway, look forward to hearing more from you.

Welcome to the forum @AlfieMDean
How have you been finding things over your first few years?
Did you have much of a honeymoon period? Have your doses settled in a bit more now, or do you still get a fair amount of variation from month to month, and as the seasons change?
