Hey Iyaz, welcome to the club :D In reply to your query, I don't want to sound like everyone else but it does get better, I promise. And yeah, it's been a year for me but I'm still getting a hang of this. I do worry about the future, to be completely honest with you. But why worry when I really can't change anything except eat right and take care of myself. Do you want to know how I coped? I had this major rant on TuD about 6 months ago and that made me feel heaps better :D Check it out, I'm sure you're going through the same. And for now, just do what we all do here, no worries, just living one day at a time :) Feel free to message me any time you wanna talk.

Hello I was about 30. I did not cope. I was in denial. I went on my merry way addicted to sweets no medications did not test. I finally got the shock of my life when I moved to Florida..about 75 years old..A1C 9.5 pit right on insulin. O then got serious. I test I exercise I take my insulin 4 times a day I eat well watching carbs. I got my A1C to 5.9. It is a buisance a struggle meAns changes but it better than the alternative. DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED..you can do it. Reed
