I look forward to hearing from you again soon.

HAHA I never thought of that explanation for my reverse dawn phenomenon!! Maybe it is the time zones :)

Stephen, is Oswego near Waddington NY?

Thanks for the welcome, I am really glad to find a place to share my experiences and learn about others living with diabetes.

Welcome to the TuDiabetes family, Stephen! Great to have u as a member!

From my experience (diagnosed almost 5 years ago, at age 21), it will sink in in waves. I remember in the beginning shots were a big deal for me cause i have been afraid of needles. Everyone thinks that is the worse part of diabetes. But after a while, I didn't think twice about giving shots (in college, I even gave them while running to class!).

There is a lot to learn, but the important thing is to pace yourself and trust that you will find your routine. I can hardly remember life without diabetes. It feels like such a normal thing now. And there are very few times where it really interfered in my life.

The best thing is to realize that you are not alone! There are tons of people here living great lives with diabetes.

Feel free to ask questions as they come up. You will get a ton of responses here from people with years of experience!

Best wishes!

Welcome to TuDiabetes Stephen! I'm glad that you found this community!

I see that you are pretty new to diabetes-- how is it going?
