Hi Godders, welcome to the forum 🙂 Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but glad you found us - there are lots of friendly, experienced people here who will be able to answer any questions you may have. As suggested, Type 1 Diabetes in Children, Adolescents and Young People is invaluable, so do try and get hold of a copy. There are lots of links to sources of good information in our Useful links thread so have a browse through that.
Let us know how things have been going for you, and if we can help in any way 🙂
Welcome - just ask and we'll try to help. Others who were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as adults can help particularly, but all will answer, whatever the issue - medication, diet, acitivity, sports, driving, travel, insurance etc 🙂
