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.

we're here for you if you need anything.

Iyaz, how did it go today? let us know if you have questions or just feel completely overwhelmed.

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
