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! 🙂

Welcome to the boards, Johnny141.

I'm another who was diagnosed as an adult, aged 30 years, over 15 years ago, so couldn't access internet support then.

Ask away, join in, read threads, whatever helps you most.
