When I was first diagnosed, 14 years ago, I was devastated. I won't try to paint a pretty picture. It's a true loss, but life isn't over yet! Have your feelings, mourn the loss - and then you have a choice to come to terms with the disease and accept your life w/ all the hoops to jump thru or not.
I'm still here, and so are the very many long ago diagnosed individuals on this forum. There is life after diabetes if you choose it!
This is a great forum, stick with it!
