Well there is one thing now that you have to do and that is more tests as insulin is an argessive drug if you don't understand it and also if you plan to do something phyical as that will make insulin work faster.

I do not know whether I'm bummed out or not on the fact I will need insulin the rest of my life. I mean when I was a T2 there was a chance I could take care of it with diet, exercise and pills. Where the diet and exercise would become a huge part of my life, something I wasn't looking forward to.

I guess the main thing is I am no longer independent, I will forever need insulin.

Unfortunetly yes for the rest of your natural life.

On the bright side I freaked someone out today on lunch shooting up in the parking lot of Subway

LOL Yeah, You will get that.

LOL. I wonder how a type 0 is treated? A normal life?

I may seem a little down, but it isn't all that, I am a pretty layed back person, I will miss the complete independence I enjoyed before but will get used to it.

That's the go!!
