| Hi MonicaM, and Welcome to the club! I'm T1 for 12 years, I take multiple injections daily of Humalog and Lantus. Having a dr that has diabetes will probably be a boon for you - he most likely understands the disease WAY more than most doctors. You should see a dietician/CDE - he/she will be teach you about changing your insulin to carb ratios, testing your b/s and all kinds of other details that will be a big help in learning to live healthily with this disease.
All of the worries and info can be overwhelming at first, so just absorb as much as you can, and then maybe do a "refresher course" w/ your CDE 6-12 months later.
I'm sure I speak for us all when I say please feel free to ask questions, vent, and share your own experiences.
Welcome again,
HeatherP
