| I think we've all been, at least to some extent, in your proverbial shoes. I was diagnosed in high school and it was the toughest thing I've ever been through. I've been diagnosed for 8 years and am 21. It was all tough, but its all a matter of perception.
You CANNOT let other people's insensitivity to your condition ruin your good time. Your tolerance for being around sweets and things of the like will come in time. Until then, keep your understanding friends close. It's a tough transition.
That being said, STAY ON THE FORUMS! These are going to be one of the absolute best resources you will find anywhere. We're no substitute for a good doctor or endocrinologist by any means, but the insight that these people have is absolutely invaluable. Take it from someone who knows first hand. When I came to these forums for the first time I was at the end of my diabetic rope and clawing and screaming for help. My numbers are now outstanding and I've developed relationships that I wouldnt give up for anything.
I hope we can help with any other questions. Just post about anything at all! thats what were here for!
