| Hi Roxy: Gosh, sounds like you've been through a lot on your way to being diagnosed. I hope you begin feeling more like yourself very soon. As we in Tennessee would say "Bless your heart!" I know it must be scary to be young and recently diagnosed with diabetes. Learn all you can and you'll do fine. There are many here who were diagnosed young and are doing great, years later. I'm sure they will post their encouragement to you soon.
I can't offer much advice, as i'm T2, but please let me encourage you as you begin your journey. You are not alone and you will be fine.
Linda
