hi all,i was recently diagnosed with type 1 (at 52) and just thought I would say hi to you all,hope to have some input once I have got used to the forum,cheers
Hi johnny, welcome to the forum 🙂 How did you come to be diagnosed? I was diagnosed aged 49, complete shock!
If you have a look in our Useful links thread you'll find some good sources of information. I'd particularly recommend getting a copy of Type 1 Diabetes in Children, Adolescents and Young People by Ragnar Hanas, an indispensable guide to Type 1 - ignore the 'children, young people' bit, it applies just as well whatever your age!
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and we will try our best to answer! 🙂
