Hi Kaylz, as a relative newbie T1 (diagnosed out of the blue about 6 months ago at 44) I can totally associate with how you are feeling. Suddenly it's "I can't eat this"... or can I?
As Jonsi has mentioned, why don't you start your own thread in here - then let us know how you get on and then you can any questions you have after your meeting.
What insulin regime are you on?
What advice (if any) have you been given so far?
I have found this forum to be an absolute goldmine of useful info and really friendly helpful people who managed to put my mind at rest after I was diagnosed.
And as I learnt early on, there is no need for you to be hungry as a T1 as you can adjust your insulin to suit your meals.
So, welcome to the club you don't really want to be in.
But once you've got your head round it and with the support of this lot on here it's really not that bad.
Regards
zx
