All - Newly diagnosed as type 1 in the past four week. A complete shock to the system and all been a blur (literally for a while as I lost my vision for a week or so) with such high blood glucose levels over the past 3 months. So far doing ok but back into life and work this week, so will be an adjustment to the normal routine. I'm hoping to keep a positive mental attitude with good diet (which it was already) together with plenty exercise and football. I played 7s for the first time in over a month at the weekend and quite a difference being able to function again. I hadn't realised quite how much I had been struggling before with the high blood sugars.
I should add the treatment and support from the Diabetes hospital care team including the consultants, dietician, psychology and others has been first class and really helped me.
I may have well have a million questions in time for people here! Happy to try and answer others and share my experiences too where I can, if helpful!
